They say I’m only at the start
You say it’s a beginning
But it feels like the end
If we’re to be apart
I believe that you know me 
Like no other lover 
Do you believe my love
Is older than my years
It’s wis-er than your fears
It’s tell-ing you to stay
And not to go
Love is wis-dom from the heart
It tells us who we are
So look be-yond my years
