A Thousand Years by Christina Perri

I was out with The Mouse one weekend when the conversation shifted to songs that have been playing on the radio lately. The Mouse mentioned this song and said that it’s a beautiful song as the lyrics were very meaningful. Me being me (not concentrating on lyrics as usual), had no idea what she was talking about. I decided to Youtube the song that very night and have been hooked to the song ever since. For some inexplicable reason, I keep smiling to myself every single time I hear this song.

By the way, there was a marriage proposal video of the co-founder of Nuffnang to his gf (now fiancee) using the same song. Needless to say, I ended up crying at the end of the video like the silly, emotional girl I’ve always been. Heh.

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty I know she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything 
Take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath, 
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a 
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a 
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought 
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a 
Thousand more
