A minute more, a minute less
we wouldn’t be in quite this mess
But now I know the love I feel
is deep, still strong and fresh and real
We’ll see this traumatised time through,
And through it all, I’ll stand by you
Because the thing I fear the most’s
That I’d turn round and find you lost.
But you are strong and fighting fit
And you wont by a fire sit
And let the whole world pass you by.
You’ll get up, go out and try
To make it like it used to be.
Running wild and running free;
Climbing castles in the air;
Delving in the devils lair;
Trying new things; making friends,
Doing things that have no ends
Than challenge, danger, risk anew.
Oh, my love,
I do love you.
