Ten Thousand Tomorrows

Ten thousand tomorrows

                                         Ten thousand days 
                                        feels like an eternity
                                             when there's 
                                           no love in sight

                                            One dark day 
                                         spins into another
                                            bleeding into 
                                         even darker nights

                                           Since you came 
                                              into my life
                                            time seems to 
                                              stand still 
                                       when we're together

                                        Ten thousand days, 
                                       ten thousand nights
                                         of beautiful days, 
                                     without stormy weather

                                        Ten thousand days 
                                        with you have flown
                                        on the wings of love 
                                        they've taken flight

                                         but I can't forget
                                       the fire that burned
                                            on those hot 
                                        ten thousand nights.

                                         Ten thousand days 
                                           are not enough
                                            to express all 
                                        my feelings for you,
                                        ten thousand nights 
                                           can help a lot
                                         to let those feelings 
                                           shine on through

                                      We've laughed together
                                             loved together
                                       gone through some grief 
                                        and even some sorrow

                                       But there's no one else 
                                         I'd rather be with for 
                                      ten thousand tomorrows.
