Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
Watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
[Verse 2]
One step closer
[Verse 3]
I have died every night waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
[Verse 4]
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away what's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this
[Verse 5]
One step closer
[Verse 6]
I have died every night waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
[Verse 7]
I've loved you
I've loved you for a thousand
I'll love you for a thousand
So in love, so in love, yeah
[Verse 8]
One step closer
One step closer
[Verse 9]
I have died every night waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thou–, a thousand years
Hey, I loved you for a thousand more
