How Long?

I love you,
but I know,
deep inside I always knew,
Our stream will cease to flow...

Every day I can see,
something knew comes to me.
Something telling me to run,
but I won't because I don't know,
I will always love you hun.
That I do know...
Just promiss me you'll never go...

How long?
How long before I get struck down?
How long?
How long before I fall without a sound?

Your voice,
the reason I smiled.
your friendship,
kept me wild.
Kept me free,
this is the way
me and you deserve to be...

How long?
How long before we go wrong?
How long?
Do you think for you I'd stand strong?

I want to be able,
to take you as far as love can go.
Places of legend, of fable,
where magic will flow...

Within me I know better,
some words from you that I do not know,
not words in a letter,
words to be said before I can go.

How long?
How long before those words are said?
How long?
Please my love don't wait til I'm dead...
