All the man I am
You are the reason for me
You help me understand
I'll be your shelter from rain
That never ends
Girl, you've always got a friend in me
All the love we had
I should've known our love
Was older than the past
Throwing my life away on songs I never heard
Just the speaking of a special word
I made you die inside, but you loved me
And don't believe the word
No the word can't give us paradise
When you make your love to me
Till I just could not see the light
As long as I got you
As long as you got me
As long as we got you and I
I won't let you down
No better love will be there
When you turn around
I'll be living for you till the oceans turn to sand
There will never be any man
Could love you just the say
That I love you
So don't believe the word
No the world cant't give us paradise
In the eye within the storm
When I just could not make it through the night
As long as I got you, as long as you got me
As long as we got you and I
