I'm going to take my time I have all the time in the world To make you mine It is written in the stars above The gods decree You'll be right here by my side Right next to me You can run but you cannot hide [Chorus] Don't say you want me Don't say you need me Don't say you love me It's understood Don't say you're happy Out there without me I know you can't be Cause it's no good I'll be fine I'll be waiting patiently Till you see the signs And come running to my open arms When will you realize Do we have to wait till our worlds collide Open up your eyes You can't turn back the tide [Chorus] I'm going to take my time I have all the time in the world To make you mine It is written in the stars above [Chorus]
