Light reflects from your shadow It is more than I thought could exist You move through the room Like breathing was easy If someone believed me They would be As in love with you as I am They would be As in love with you as I am They would be As in love with you as I am They would be In love, love, love And everyday I am learning about you The things that no one else sees And the end comes too soon Like dreaming of angels And leaving without them And leaving without them Being As in love with you as I am Being As in love with you as I am Being As in love with you as I am Being As in love, love, love Love, love, love Love, love, love And with words unspoken A silent devotion I know you know what I mean And the end is unknown But I think I'm ready As long as you're with me Being As in love with you as I am Being As in love with you as I am Being As in love with you as I am Being As in love, love, love
