[Verse 1: Christina Perri]
The day we met
Frozen I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I'd found the home for my
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
Watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

[Pre-Chorus: Christina Perri & Steve Kazee]
One step closer

[Chorus: Christina Perri]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

[Verse 2: Steve Kazee]
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

[Pre-Chorus: Christina Perri & Steve Kazee]
One step closer

[Chorus: Christina Perri & Steve Kazee]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
I'll love you for a thousand more

[Pre-Chorus:Christina Perri & Steve Kazee]
One step closer

[Chorus: Christina Perri & Steve Kazee]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
