As it was in the beginning then so should it end Don't let a lover become just a friend -- oh no. I made you a promise I vowed I would keep The candle 's still burning, the river runs deep -- my love. Didn't you know, didn't you feel |: Couldn't you tell that it was real? :| (Chorus:) I'll dedicate to you all my love, my whole life through I'll love you forever and ever Ev'ry day, ev'ry hour we share I'll treasure you, I swear I'll love you forever and ever. What we joined together let none tear apart We give one another our hand and our heart -- my love. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Will love last forever? I know that it must -- my love. Now you can see, now you can feel |: Now you can tell that it was real :| Chorus (bis)
