Lyrics
You're not a dream, you're not an angel, you're a woman
I'm not a king, I'm a man, take my hand
We'll make a space in the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go
Yes, we're different, worlds apart, we're not the same
We laughed and played at the stars like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart but in you came
And here you'll stay until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why
Don't ask how
Don't ask forever
Love me now
This love of mine had no beginning, it has no end
I was an oak, now I'm a willow, now I can bend
And though I'll never in my life see you again
Still I'll stay until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why
Don't ask how
Don't ask forever
Love me now
You're not a dream, you're not an angel, you're a woman
I'm not a king, I'm a man, take my hand
We'll make a space in the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go
