As Long As

As long as...

Verse 1
I met you in the shadows and your face was all aglow;
I remember it so well, though it was many years ago;
We both knew something happened without a lot to say;
But we had other lives and so we went our separate ways;
But our hearts communicated and every time we passed;
We were gradually building something that would forever last.

Verse 2
My heart was calling for you when one night you came
along. We danced around each other but then we sang
our song. Our harmony was shaky,
and the pitch not very true.
But then you gave in to me and I gave in to you.
We had to fight the world and we fought with all we
had. We vowed to be together through the sweet times and the bad.

Verse 3
I hear you whisper every night #147#May I have this
dance.#148# And though I'm not light on my feet I
always take the chance. We've gone through many storms
and often walked through fire.
But always our loving faith took us higher and higher.
We know the mystery of life; it's love hard and long.

She: I love you. He: I love you and I always will. As long...
