OUR LOVE IS FOREVER

WHEN MY LIFE IS OVER YOU WILL KNOW

I'VE ONLY LOVED YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.

OUR LOVE IS SO FREE

YET, NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE

THEY FROWN UPON US BECAUSE WE ARE SO DIFFERENT.

BUT OUR LOVE IS FOREVER

NO ONE CAN CHANGE OUR FEELINGS

IT WON'T DO THEM ANY GOOD TO TRY;

THEY PROSPERED ONCE, BUT WILL FAIL THIS TIME.

OUR LOVE HAS BEEN LIKE THE SEA -

FULL OF BIG WAVES BUT WE'VE LIVED THROUGH IT ALL

AND WE'RE STILL HANGING ON.

AFTER FOURTEEN MONTHS OF SEPARATION,

WE'VE FOUND OUR LOVE IS STILL THERE

AND THE LITTLE FLAMES TURNED INTO

A BIG, ROARING FIRE OF DESIRE.

THIS PROVED TO OURSELVES WE COULD LICK ALL ODDS;

NO ONE IS GOING TO SPLIT US UP NOW OR NOT EVER.

PEOPLE WILL JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT US

BECAUSE OUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER

WILL LAST FOREVER.

MY LOVE FOR YOU IS QUITE TRUE,

DON'T EVER DOUBT ME;

I AM YOURS NOW FOR ALL ETERNITY

BECAUSE, NOW, I BELONG COMPLETELY

WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL TO YOU.
