You're not a dream, you're not an angel, you're a woman, I'm not a king
Just a man, take my hand, we'll make a space in this life
That we've planned, and here we'll stay until it's time for you to go

Yes, we're different, worlds apart, we're not the same
We laughed and played at the start like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart, but in you came
And here you'll stay until it's time for you to go

* Don't ask why, don't ask how
Don't ask forever, love me
Love me, love me, love me now

** This love of mine, has no beginning it has no end
I was an oak, now I am a willow, now I can bend
And though I'll never in my life see you again
And still I'll stay until it's time for you to go

* Repeat

This love of mine, has no beginning it has no end
I was an oak, now I am a willow and I can bend
And though I'll never in my life see you again
Here I'll stay until it's time for you to go

Yes, I'll stay until it's time for you to go
