A thousand years is a long, long time Even for a star up in the sky I could count the tears and the long, long nights But I'd rather just remember how you smiled In a thousand years I know that our love will still be here So close your eyes, my dear Knowing that our love is going to last one thousand years A time flies by in a blinking eye No matter how we try to make it last But if souls are strong, they'll go on and on And we will hardly know that time has passed In a thousand years I know that our love will still be here So close your eyes, my dear Knowing that our love is going to last one thousand years A thousand years will disappear if we can keep each other here inside our hearts We will never be apart, so don't you fear Dry your tears In a thousand years I know that our love will still be here In a thousand years So close your eyes, my dear Knowing that our love is going to last one thousand years
