A Thousand Years Lyrics

The day we met
Frozen I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I found a home
For my heart to fall
Watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly
Goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died every day
Waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty and oh, she is
Every breath, every hour
Has come to this

(Taking one step closer, I swear)
One step closer

I havе died every day
Waiting for you
Darling don't bе 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
And I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

I will love you
A thousand years

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
