Love Keeps Me Young

A love I never felt is the love I 
have for you
This feeling deep inside
Brightens my life around

Stories I have heard
From this love I now feel
Stronger than it was told
This love now is real

I will die young
Even a hundred years from now
Love keeps me young
Beauty will not fade
Sharing this love
I can't keep it in any longer

Free as I can be
With you next to me
Unstoppable I'll be 
You standing next to me

A thousand miles each day
Worth the smile that you have
Each second without you 
Feels longer than my life
Holding you near
Takes me some place far away

I will die young
Even a hundred years from now
Love keeps me young
Beauty will not fade
Sharing this love
I can't keep it in any longer
