Lyrics
Looking in your eyes
I see a paradise
This world that I’ve found
Is too good to be true
Standing here beside you
Want so much to give you
This love in my heart
That I’m feeling for you
Let ’em say we’re crazy
I don’t care about that
Put your hand in my hand, baby
Don’t ever look back
Let the world around us
Just fall apart
Baby, we can make it
If we’re heart-to-heart
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing’s gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We’ll still have each other
Nothing’s gonna stop us
Nothing’s gonna stop us now, whoa, no
I’m so glad I found you
I’m not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes
I will stay here with you
Take you to the good times
See you through the bad times
Whatever it takes
Is what I’m gonna do
Let ’em say we’re crazy
What do they know?
Put your arms around me, baby
Don’t ever let go
Let the world around us
Just fall apart
Baby, we can make it
If we’re heart-to-heart
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing’s gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We’ll still have each other
Nothing’s gonna stop us
Nothing’s gonna stop us, ooh
All that I need is you
All that I ever need
All that I want to do
Is hold you forever
Forever and ever
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing’s gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We’ll still have each other
Nothing’s gonna stop us
Nothing’s gonna stop us
Build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing’s gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We’ll still have each other
Nothing’s gonna stop us now
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing’s gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We’ll still have each other
Nothing’s gonna stop us
Nothing’s gonna stop us
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing’s gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
