lyrics

No eyes had ever shined
As bright as mine
The first time that I saw you
I grinned and thought
I'd do anything
Just for one sweet look
I would never scare
I'd scale a wall
Or fight a bear
Anything to let you that I care
Anything to have you
Right then and there

And still to this day

I want you now
ALL OF YOU
Forever and ever
If You're a Bird
Then I'm a Bird
We'll fly on together
Cuz you're my sweetheart
You are my home
And I'm not going anywhere
Anytime
For ANY reason at all

No lips had ever felt as soft as yours
The first time that we kissed
I closed my eyes and thought of growing old
How all I need
Is this
We cherished every day
By holding hands and smiling
Cuz
We had a secret
No one knew what it was
A perfectly
Imperfect kind of love

And STILL to this day

I want you now
ALL OF YOU
Forever and ever
If You're a Bird
Then I'm a Bird
We'll fly on together
Cuz you're my sweetheart
You are my home
And I'm not going anywhere
Anytime
For ANY reason at all

No tears had ever been as wet as ours
The day that we parted
The pain it cut so deep
Worse than if we never started
Our paths would cross again
You had a man
And said you were in love
As we talked
The sky it cried for us
Our tears weren't enough
Still it wasn't over
I would fight with strength from above
To show that our love
Could conquer anything or anyone

A rain-soaked kiss
That sealed our fate
Just a girl and boy
Felt the sky's
Tears of sadness
Turn to tears of joy
It's like our first kiss never ended
And everything between
Then and now
Had just been a bad dream
And you were here all along

STILL to this day!

I want you now
ALL OF YOU
Forever and ever
If You're a Bird
Then I'm a Bird
We'll fly on together
Cuz you're my sweetheart
You are my home
And I'm not going anywhere
Anytime
For ANY reason at all
