This love is a slow love,
This love don’t move too fast,
This love was in the first place,
This love will be the last.
This love can bring me to my knees,
This love can give me wings.
And carry me to heaven high,
Or bind me with its rings.

And I can’t live without it,
When she goes I die.
Better off alone, they say,
Is nothing but a lie.
So, let me feel your heartbeat,
For just another day,
Then when the world comes to an end,
I still won’t go away.

This love is a strong love,
This love can carry me,
When time removes its pound of flesh,
It’s all that’s left to see.
This love has taken everything,
This love does not withhold.
The burning passion of the young,
The caring of the old.

And I can’t live without it,
When she goes I die.
Better off alone, they say,
Is nothing but a lie.
So, let me feel your heartbeat,
For just another day,
Then when the world comes to its end,
I still won’t go away.
