Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears God, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears I shall not fear no man but God Though I walk through the valley of death I shed so many tears

You're gonna be mine, little girl, You've been through 18 years of pain. I'm gonna give you a love, child, You've been mistreated, little girl, But I swear, I swear it'll be outgrown. Even if I can't have you by my side. You won't feel bad again.

And I'd relive all the years I've cried with every stumbled step That led to you and got me here, right here And I wouldn't change a thing I'd walk right back through the rain Back to every broken heart On the day that it was breakin' And be thankful for

These are the days our lives will change and we will see our worlds collide Life is a journey throughout the years that pass a lesson to be learned There is a purpose to all that we encounter in this existence What builds us up may one day break us down

That great symphonic theme, That's Stella by starlight, And not a dream, She's everything on this earth to me. The song a robin sings, Through years of endless springs, The murmur of a brook at evening tides. That ripples through a nook where two lovers

You're gonna be mine, little girl You've been through 18 years of pain I'm gonna give you a love, child You've been mistreated, little girl Even if I can't have you by my side You won't feel bad again But I swear, I swear it'll be outgrown But I swear,

I will love you till the end of time I would wait a million years Promise you'll remember that your mine Baby can you see through the tears Love you more Than those bitches before Say you'll remember oh baby say you'll remember Oh baby ooh

If I'm lucky, There will be a time and a place, You'll kiss me, we'll embrace; In that moment, Every wishful dream I ever knew Will come true; I will go through the years with you. You will tell me that you care, That we'll never be apart.

What you need, what you need We'll wait 1000 years until the end of time We'll wait 1000 more dressed up in gold and white We'll climb the mountain sides to find what's in the sky We'll dig through mountain sides to find what's deep inside I've got

I can't tell you why And I can't tell you why Every time I try to walk away Something makes me turn around and stay Look at us baby, up all night Tearing our love apart Aren't we the same two people who live Through years in the dark?
