You set my soul at ease
Chased darkness out of view
Left your desperate spell on me
Say you feel it too I know you do
I've got so much more to give
This can't die, I yearn to live
Pour yourself all over me
And I'll cherish every drop here on my knees

I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do
'Cause from the moment that I saw your face
And felt the fire of your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I wanna love you forever

My mind fails to understand
What my heart tells me to do
And I'd give up all I have just to be with you
And that would do
I've always been taught to win
And I never thought I'd fail
Be at the mercy of a man,
I've never been
Now I only want to be right where you are

I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do
'Cause from the moment that I saw your face
And felt the fire of your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I wanna love you forever

In my life I've learned that heaven never waits
Let's take this now before it's gone
Like yesterday
'Cause when I'm with you there's nowhere else
That I would ever wanna be no
I'm breathing for the next second I can feel you
Loving me, I'm gonna Love

I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do
'Cause from the moment that I saw your face
And felt the fire of your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I wanna love you forever
