Lovers For Life

Sometimes love comes at you slowly
You don't see or suspect it
Awakened by a soul that knows you
It sneaks up on you undetected

You're not in control, you're a passenger
It swallows you whole and decides where you'll go

I will guide and protect you
Wherever you and I may go
Time has given a gift for us to explore
Like never before
To lovers like us, lovers for life

Your heart's unfulfilled, in search of someone
To redefine love as you know it
It takes a long time to break the silence
Then one of you speaks, deciding to show it

A deeper and different thing comes over you
It swallows you whole and decides where you'll go

I will guide and protect you
Wherever you and I may go
Time has given a gift for us to explore
Like never before
To lovers like us, lovers for life

I'm well aware that there are no guarantees
Except for what we have and what my heart believes

Sometimes love comes at you slowly
You don't see or suspect it
Awakened by a soul that knows you
It sneaks up on you undetected

You're not in control, you're a passenger
It swallows you whole and decides where you'll go

I will guide and protect you
Wherever you and I may go
Time has given a gift for us to explore
Like never before
To lovers like us, lovers for life
Lovers like us, lovers for life
