Our Love Will Grow Strong


Life is not as it seems 
From above, my true love.
You have been in my heart too long. 

In the nights I find you 
Coming near, but not here. 
You have gone away for too long. 

Here, there,
Forever we were,
In our hearts living as one...too long.

Eyes cry, to where will I fly, 
Coz you have died too soon and 
My days are too long...oh long.

Still my love I'll love you, 
All my life I'll stay true,  
Though I'll have to live here too long.

When you lived, we were fine,  
I was yours, you were mine,
And now, those days are gone long.

Here, there, 
Forever we were,
In our hearts living as one...too long 

Eyes cry, to where will I fly, 
Coz you have died too soon and 
My days are too long...oh long.

Life's hard, as we stay apart,
But I'll join you before it's too long.

And then, together again, 
We will live in that land where 
Our love will grow strong and long.

Original lyrics: My Heart Will Go On

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you.
That is how I know you go on.

Far across the distance
And spaces between us.
You have come to show you go on.

Near, Far, 
Wherever you are, 
I believe that the heart does... go on.

Once more, you open the door.
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on.

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime.
And never let go till we're gone.

Love was when I loved you, 
One true time I hold to, 
In my life we'll always go on.

Near, far, 
Wherever you are, 
I believe that the heart does... go on.

Once more, you open the door.
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on.

You're here, there's nothing I fear.
And I know that my heart will go on.

We'll stay, forever this way.
You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on.

I think you did a beautiful job with this Jo. Your words actually sound more genuine and sincere than the original lyrics. I liked this a lot.
