A Thousand Years Lyrics
[MARLEY]
The day we met
Frozen, I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I'd found a home for my heart beats fast
Colors 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
[JAKE & MARLEY]
One step closer
[MARLEY]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
[JAKE]
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
[JAKE & MARLEY]
I will be brave
I will not let anything take
The day we met
Frozen, I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I'd found a home for my heart beats fast
Colors 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
[JAKE & MARLEY]
One step closer
[MARLEY]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
[JAKE]
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
[JAKE & MARLEY]
I will be brave
I will not let anything take
[JAKE]
...away
What's standing in front
[JAKE with MARLEY]
...of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
[MARLEY with JAKE]
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you
For a thousand years
[MARLEY]
I'll love you for
[JAKE & MARLEY]
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...
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
...away
What's standing in front
[JAKE with MARLEY]
...of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
[MARLEY with JAKE]
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you
For a thousand years
[MARLEY]
I'll love you for
[JAKE & MARLEY]
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...
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[MARLEY]
I'll love you for
[JAKE & MARLEY]
A thousand more!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
One step closer
[MARLEY]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you
[JAKE & MARLEY]
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
I will love you
A thousand years
Mmm, mmm
I'll love you for
[JAKE & MARLEY]
A thousand more!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
One step closer
[MARLEY]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you
[JAKE & MARLEY]
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
I will love you
A thousand years
Mmm, mmm
