Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don’t be afraid
I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still

Beauty in all she is

I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
