"A Thousand Years" lyrics

"A Thousand Years"
(originally by Christina Perri)

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm
Afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died every night waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'd love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'd love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'd love you for a thousand more

I'd love you for a thousand-
I'd love you for a thousand-
I'd love, I'd love you-

One step closer
One step closer

I have died every night waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'd love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'd love you for a thousand more
