With strong hands you held me as a child.
The smell of coffee, smoke in my eyes.
The tender of love of your calm embrace.
The edge of life upon your face.
I belong to you.
Every hero has his day.
Every battle field will fade.
And now I’m left standing in your shoes.
But I belong to you and you belong to me.
Chorus:
Everybody’s got a love that’s never over.
Everybody’s got a time that’s never done.
I don’t want to say it’s about getting older,
But everyday has its setting sun.
Oh, a new day will come.
Two thousand miles and too many years,
Too much sorrow, too much to bear,
We had hope, we’d make it last,
But what we lost cannot be left.
I belong to you.
Every life has its way.
Every love is not the same,
And now we know that we can make it through,
I belong to you, and you belong to me.
Bridge:
I’ve never made it own my own.
Every past is never gone.
Every choice we make was never free.
Because I belong to you,
And you belong to me.
