Here we are in time alone
No one else’s feelings but our own
Seems to me that we have always known
What love was meant to be

Separately we stood before
Life was good but we knew there should be more
Time alone could open up the door
And you came through for me

No sign of the changes we have come through
No mind of the strangers who think they know you

Now as one we are a light
Though sometimes we were blinded by the night
Here in time alone it all seems right
And I’m feelin’ wholly free
Won’t you stay in time alone with me
