… You’re not a dreamYou’re not an angelYou’re a womanI’m not a kingJust a manTake my handWe’ll make a spaceIn this life that we plannedAnd here we’ll stayUntil it’s time for you to go… Yes, we’re different, worlds apartWe’re not the sameWe laughed it awayAt the start, like in a gameYou could have stayedOutside my heartBut in you cameAnd here you’ll stayUntil it’s time for you to go… Don’t ask whyDon’t ask howDon’t ask foreverLove me, love meLove me, love me now
