It all started nine years ago
you sat to my left back in school
the future showed itself to me
the god in you, the god in me, stood together
like two trees

I was so shy to inquire
If you would like tea sometime
then in my mercury
hand on hand, hand on knee, mercy mercy mercy me

and I believe in love
to be the center of all things
and i believe in love to be the way
and i believe in love
to be the center of all things
and i believe in love to be the way
to find our inner light

I saw a vision where we
were opening presents christmas day
but we were not all alone
the wedding was shotgun
we had a daughter and a son

so how cruel to realize
you had a woman all the time
but my love burns bright as the sun
the clouds may come, the clouds may go
and I'll still be here at your door

and I believe in love...

thank you for waiting through my lovers
knowing we could come home to each other
yes, I have waited through these winters
my true one was right here

and I believe in love...
