“A Thousand Years” Lyrics  

 

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 
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  

Athousand more 
Time stands still 

Beauty in all she is 

 

I will be brave 
I will not let anything  

Take away 
What's standing  

In front of me 
Every breath 
Every hour  

Has come to this 
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 
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 
One step closer 

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 
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
