when you tell me that you love me

I want to call the stars
down from the sky
I want to live a day
that never dies
I want to change the world
only for you
all the impossible
I want to do

I want to hold you close
under the rain
I want to kiss your smile
and feel the pain
I know what's beautiful
looking at you
in a world of lies
you are the truth

and baby
every time you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
no matter where you are
and give you
everything you ask for
nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
when you tell me that you love me

I want to make you see
just what I was
show you the loneliness
and what it does
you walked into my life
to stop my tears
everything's easy now
I have you here

in a world without you
I would always hunger
all I need is your love
to make me stronger

nine million bicycles - I will love you till I die

there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
that's a fact
it's a thing we can't deny
like the fact that I will love you till I die

we are twelve billion light years from the edge
that's a guess
no-one can ever say it's true
but I know that I will always be with you

I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
so don't call me a liar
just believe everything that I say

there are six billion people in the world
more or less
and it makes me feel quite small
but you're the one I love the most of all

we're high on the wire
with the world in our sight
and I'll never tire
of the love that you give me every night

and there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
and you know that I will love you till I die

thank you for loving me - five words

it's hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
there's no one here but you and me
and that broken old street light

lock the doors
we'll leave the world outside
all I've got to give to you
are these five words when I

thank you for loving me
for being my eyes when I couldn't see for
parting my lips when I couldn't breathe
thank you for loving me

I never knew I had a dream
until that dream was you
when I look into your eyes
the sky's a different blue

cross my heart
I wear no disguise
if I tried, you'd make believe
that you believed my lies

you pick me up when I fall down
you ring the bell before they count me out
if I was drowning you would part the sea
and risk your own life to rescue me

when I couldn't fly
you gave me wings
you parted my lips when I couldn't breathe
thank you for loving me

I'm gonna love you til the end

it's been so long
since we took the time
to share words from deep inside us

we're in our own world spinning our wheels
but you know how I feel

well since the first time I took your hand
my love for you has just been growing
you always seem to understand
you know how I am

I'm gonna love you til the end
I'm gonna be your very true friend
I wanna share your ups and downs
I'm gonna be around

when you're alone cause I'm away
don't be sad don't be afraid
I'm gonna turn my thoughts to you
like I always do

catch you when you fall
hold you when you're down
sharing every moment
I wanna show you all I do
I believe I've found a miracle in you

a love to last a lifetime - complete

we’re all just merely passing through
doing what we can do in a lifetime
we have more than one adventure to take
more than one dream to make in our lifetime

as for me there’s only one dream
and that’s to love you my love
with a love to last a lifetime

we’re fools we sometimes do crazy things
and our hearts would take wins like a sparrow
but that’s life
we’ll take each day as it comes
never leaving the crumbs for the morrow

as for me, all of my days
I will spend them all with you
loving you with love to last a lifetime

if we all could leave
something lasted behind to be remembered by
just a song for me and then at least I would have tried

I agree it’s not so much what we have
as how we use what we have in our lifetime

thirty years is worth a hundred and two
it’s really what we can do in our lifetime

all my love I would give
for as long as I may live
with a love, true love, to last a lifetime

turning page - sweetest words remain

I've waited a hundred years
But I'd wait a million more for you
Nothing prepared me for
What the privilege of being yours would do

If I had only felt
the warmth within your touch
If I had only seen
how you smile when you blush

Or how you curl your lip
when you concentrate enough
Well I would have known
What I was living for all along
What I've been living for

Your love is my turning page
Where only the sweetest words remain
Every kiss is a cursive line
Every touch is a redefining phrase

I surrender who I've been for who you are
For nothing makes me stronger
than your fragile heart

If I had only felt
how it feels to be yours
Well I would have known
What I've been living for all along

Though we're tethered
to the story we must tell
When I saw you
well I knew we'd tell it well
With a whisper
we will tame the vicious seas
Like a feather
bringing kingdoms to their knees
