Am I real?
Do the words I speak before you make you feel
That the love I left for you will see no ending?
Well, if you look into my eyes then you should know

That there is nothing here to doubt nothing to fear
And you can lay your questions down 'cause if you'll hold me
We can fade into the night and you'll know

The world could die
And everything may lie
Still you shan't cry
'Cause time may pass
But longer than it'll last
I'll be by your side

Take my hand
And gently close your eyes so you could understand
That there's no greater love tonight than what I've for you
Well, if you feel the same way for me then let go
We can journey to a garden no one knows
Life is short, my darling tell me that you love me
So we can fade into the night and you'll know

The world could die
And everything may lie
Still you shan't cry
'Cause time may pass
But longer than it'll last
I'll be by your side
Forever by your side

I want you to know
The world could lie
And everything may die
Still you shan't cry
'Cause time may pass
and everything won't last
I'll be by your side
Forever by your side
So you won't cry.
