爱情故事 【爱情故事】

where do i begin
to tell the story of how great a love can be?
the sweet love story that is older than the sea.
the simple truth about the love she brings to me,
where do i start?
with her first hello,
she gave a meaning to this empty world of mine.
there'll never be another love, another time.
she came into my life and made the living fine.
she fills my heart.
she fills my heart
with very special things.
with angel's souls², with wild imaginings.
she fills my soul¹ with so much love.
that anywhere i go,
i'm never lonely.
with her along, who could be lonely?
i reach for her hand.
it's always there.
how long does it last?
can love be measured³ by the hours in a day?
i have no answers now, but this much i can say.
i know i'll need her til the stars all burn away
and she'll be there.
how long does it last?
