Songtekst
If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to know.
And if a face could launch a thousand ships, then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you; you're all that's left me, too.
And when my love for life is running dry,
You come, you come and pour yourself on me.
If a man could be two places at one time, well I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.
If the world should stop revolving, spinning, spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you.
And when the world was through, mmm
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
Then you and I would simply fly away.
