I heard a whisper The first time that I held your hand I saw the future But I couldn't let you know It may have frightened you Changed the course of destiny I chose to walk the patient path And let your heart unfold And I will love you Sure as stars fill the heavens above you And I will hold you and keep you and dream you As long as we both shall live But all of the rapture May take more than one lifetime to capture From the tears to the laughter From here to hereafter I felt I know you The moment that I heard your voice So warm and familiar It touched my very soul And when I kissed your lips I floated out of space and time Your universe became my world Your heart became my home And I will love you Sure as stars fill the heavens above you And I will hold you and keep you and dream you As long as we both shall live But all of the rapture May take more than one lifetime to capture From the tears to the laughter From here to hereafter We'll fly 'cross all boundaries of time As one angel we'll fly Through this world and beyond Tell me why (I see the light in your eyes) Even talk of good-bye (The fire that keeps me alive) When love never dies And our spirit lives on Yes, I will love you Sure as stars fill the heavens above you And I will hold you and keep you and dream you As long as we both shall live But all of the rapture May take more than one lifetime to capture From the tears to the laughter From here to hereafter What am I feeling? Could I be dreaming? My love will follow you From here to hereafter
