A Thousand Years (Cover) Lyrics
Heart beats fast, colours and promises
How to be brave? How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone?
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow, one step
Closer
[Chorus: Ally, Camila and Lauren & Normani and Dinah & All]
I have died everyday waiting for you
(Waiting for you)
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you
(I have loved you)
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
[Verse 2: Lauren & All]
Time stands still, beauty in all she is
Every breath, every hour has come to this, one step
Closer
[Chorus: All & (Ally) & (Dinah)]
I have died every day waiting for you (waiting for you)
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you (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
(I would find you)
Time has brought your heart to me
(No, no, no no, oh)
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
