It’s been a long long time
since I was a boy of my age
I can’t believe this is happening to me
I met a girl of my age
with a lovely smile that amazed
my spirit deep inside I left my heart to see
Since then I’ve always want to see
her face and I wanna be
the man that will love her ’til the end
So I took time to be friend with her
gotta know each other better
then I finally said I love you dearest friend.
REFRAIN:
It started with a letter
and somehow, it’s finally getting better..
CHORUS:
This is a love story, filled with heaven’s rain
A love so strong yet gentle as a sweet refrain
This is a love story as endless as the skies
This will go on forever, a love that never dies
It’s been a long long time
since the day she gave her heart to me
I can’t believe we’re still together can’t you see
We stayed and stood real strong
Up against all odds that came along
We proved them all our love is through eternity
Yes, there were days when we laughed
there were days when we cried enough
there were days when joys and sorrow stirred our hearts inside
But when we held each other’s hand so tight
we can walk even in the darkest night
until we’ve come and reach the morning light
[Repeat REFRAIN]
[Repeat CHORUS]
And now we’re still going strong
the reason why I wrote this song
so I could let her know how much she means to me..
