Lyrics

Here’s a little gift from me to you
a place to store your dreams and your secrets too

When the world goes dark I’ll always be close by
to hear your dreams unfold, hold you when you cry
as you walk away, let go of my hand
smile as you turn for one last look and know you understand

Listen to the song and where it takes your soul
watch the dancer spin around a thousand times more
I’ve traveled across the sea just to bring you this
an unconditional waltz and a loving kiss
I know I’ve been away and for way too long
I need you now more than ever, before the music is over
I want you to know this song’s for you
I want you to know that I love you
I want you to know this song’s for you
I need you to know that I love you
