Now I see the light that’s shining from your eyes
Even brighter than before
Telling me something now that I believe is true
‘Cos I found the truth with you

I will take you with me everywhere I go
Flying higher than before
With a feeling that is meant for you and me
Every day a little more

If we see a way together as we go
We will never be alone
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

If I think of all the things that I have seen
And I look at me
When I think of all the things that I could do
I could do them all with you
I would do them all with you
I will do them all for you
