lyrics

I lost myself in the shimmer of your smile,
Like sunlight dancing in the rain.
My hands were shaking as you faced me in the aisle.
You know, I wish we could do it all again.

I held you close and swore that I'd always be here,
But we can't live forever...

Cross my heart and hope to die.
I'll love you till the end of time.
Rip my lungs out of my chest,
If you ever leave,
'Cause there'd be nothing left.

First dance in the Stone Cellar,
Singing There Will Be Time.
I wished that it could last forever,
With your heart beating on mine.
We walked through a tunnel of hands,
Into the great unknown.
And we looked to each other,
For something we could call our own.

Cross my heart and hope to die.
I'll love you till the end of time.
Rip my lungs out of my chest,
If you ever leave,
'Cause there'd be nothing left. (Nothing Left)

Storm clouds gather,
But with you, the horizon's clear.

I never want to say goodbye.
I'll love you till the day I die.
I'll be your shelter from the cold.
I'll be your hand to hold.

Cross my heart and hope to die.
I'll love you till the end of time.
Rip my lungs out of my chest,
If you ever leave,
'Cause there'd be nothing left. (Nothing Left)
