[Verse 2]
As love is
reality, when
you are near t
o me, I am
in ecstacy.
I'd swallow
the pain and
pride, baby, I
just can't
hide all that
I feel inside.
[Chorus]
And I'd wait a
million years
, walk a milli
on
miles, cry a m
illion tears.
I'd swim th
e deepest sea,
climb the hig
hest hill,
just to have y
ou near me.

A million
years, I would
wait for you.
A million tear
s, baby, I'd b
e true.
A million mile
s, I would fol
low you.
A million year
s, if you want
me to.
[Verse 3]
Pacing the
floor, detest,
sweat pouring
down my chest
,
still I can't
love you less.
It's worth
all the pain a
nd pride, baby
, I just can't
hide all that
I feel inside.
[Chorus]
And I'd wait a

, walk a milli
on

illion tears.
I'd swim th
e deepest sea,
climb the hig
hest hill,
just to have y
ou near me.
