oh, these are the lovely years and they hold us so closely together,

((don't let go of this, oh don't let go baby.))

the building's burning up but we're immune to the blaze,

at least for now, so be mine for now, until the fire eats us away

and we look back on this day with smiles in our eyes

and wonder why we didn't do this before.

S

o

go to your dreams now baby, go away in a place where

i know you'll be thinking of me and

i'll wait for you to wake up finally

so we can run off into the sunrise.

.

this is just the beginning, our beginning

so lets not waste time on realizations and

don't waste dreams on dramatizations,

((lets live the real thing.))

.

.

and i could love you for a thousand years and

you'd never know, boy,

until our hands touch and our souls collide

and all's that's left is ashes, ashes and dust.

so i'll tell you now, please take the moment,

and i need to know if you'll promise to stay for me too,

and we'll tattoo it on our hearts and someday our souls until the day...

.

. . .

.

and one day too we'll love the sky a different shade of blue

and the world will push it aside

as a scientific override but we'll know,

deep within us, that the words i love you

will never even begin to cover it.

.

and oh, when it rains i'll think of your promise and

i'll smile and hold myself

with a smile too big to miss; for

i know you're smiling at me too;

.

and the sky will turn a different shade of blue.

and all the frowning people in London and Japan

will look up and down and damn the change,

but deep down they'll know it too,

((that our love is too big))

your love for me and my love for you.

.

and once we're done being fools you'll leave

me and i'll break my heart for you.

the world cannot survive with lovers

like us side by side;

((it is an uncommon rule, but always used))

by people whose love turns the sky different shades of blue.

you'll settle down with a nice sensible girl and

i'll be left to waste away in this frowning world.

the wind and their words will turn

my skin chapped and cold, and

i'll grow weary and old, living like this.

.

but baby lets burn in this fire,

lets let it take us down in a funeral pyre;

i am not one for wasting away,

so baby, say yes, won't you stay?

our love is frightening and powerful and

bold as lightning, and our voices mingled together

are the best of sounds, baby, we make the world go round.

.

i don't die without you,

i can't let the sky return to it's plain old blue,

i refuse to stop loving you,

lets do something daring and new and

lets love, baby, like you've never heard of before,

lets make life a celebration, not a tiring chore.

and tomorrow we'll wake up side by side and

start this wild insane ride and

.

i'll say yes to you every moment

of every day of my life and

together we'll never fade away.
