Never thought our love would last For so long Time and time again I thought that you would be gone Still we kept love hanging on I guess it's meant to be That your heart still belongs to me And now we've stood the test of time We survived I asked for hope and a chance You gave the key to your heart You used to say that I'm not sincere I'm gonna prove that you're wrong I'm never gonna leave your arms Should've realized before Your love's worth waiting for Don't you know that It's our love that's burning Burning like a flame And you know that It's out love that's never gonna change 'Cause every time I touch you You just make me go insane Don't you know that It's our love that's burning Our love burning like a flame Like a fantasy in the dark You were gone I couldn't say the words That you wanted to hear But baby, now that I see the light I feel it's burning so bright So let's stop wasting all this time Should've seen it all before Our love's worth waiting for Don't you know that It's our love that's burning Burning like a flame And you know that It's out love that's never gonna change 'Cause every time I touch you You just make me go insane Don't you know that It's our love that's burning Our love burning like a flame Should've seen it all before Your love's worth waiting for Don't you know that It's our love that's burning Burning like a flame And you know that It's out love that's never gonna change 'Cause every time I touch you You just make me go insane Don't you know that It's our love that's burning Our love burning like a flame Our love, never gonna change
