The autumn leaves were falling

on these old cathedral walls

there were candles in the darkness

singing in the choir

and reading out the names

of all the ones who've gone before

well I could tell that you were thinking

about the meaning of it all

And you said to me "who will open up my eyes

to the wonder and the glory

and the stars in the sky?"

and you said to me

"for this road I'm travelling on

I need someone beside me forever, who?"

And I said "it's me and I'm ready to go

ready to show that I'll never let you down

and I want you to know

that this power will grow

every day, every beat of my heart

forever, forever"

We went down to the river

and we found a small cafe

they say that over in the corner

sat the writer Ernest Hemingway

and here he made his story of the lovers in the war

and through it all they stayed together

till the rain had to fall

And you said to me

"who will be the one apart

who will teach me with conviction

all the ways of the heart?"

and you said to me

"on this journey of my life I need someone to love me forever, who?"

And I said, listen

"it's me, and I'm ready to go

ready to show that I'll never let you down

and I want you to know

that this power will grow

every day, every beat of my heart

I love you, I love you

it's me and I'll never let you down

and I want you to know

that this power will grow

every day, every beat of my heart

forever, I love you, forever"
