    Heart beats fast
    Colors and promises
    How to be brave
    How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
    But watching you stand alone
    All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow
    One step closer
    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
    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
    One step closer
    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
    One step closer
    One step closer
    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

    It remembers me of my best part in my life when I traveled the world and I listened it when I start missing someone or something. And now I let it play to get the feelings back. It's a really familiar video for me and sometimes I let it play and take time just for myself to let feelings out when I need it.
    Thank you for your beautiful guitar skills and helping me just taking for myself

    Something about the soothing sound of fingerstyle acoustic guitar that doesn't allow for stress to exist while its playing. Again wonderful arrangement.

    I keep watching this video. I'm determined to learn it on guitar. I learn with my eyes and my ear, and your rendition rocks! I am getting closer to a "good enough" completion, but the finger picking pattern in the chorus still alludes me. Thank you for the inspiration.

When i listen your arrangement first time my mind is screaming: "You must be good like he". And I still listening this ("Let Her Go", "Nothing Else Matters" and "Say You Won't Let Go" are my favorites) arrangement ^^
    Thank you so much for such wonderful performances of popular and liked songs.

    It's beautiful. Play it again! I would love to hear how you have grown in 3 years.

    In High School, i had a crush on one girl beginning to end and only told her at prom on the last day. When telling her though, we were both drunk and this song was the only way i could show how i felt. This cover reminds me of the best time of my life so far: when i was truly and completely in love

    Been practicing your chords for a week now. i am not a pro guitar player but i am now trying to learn how to play guitar like this. I like your videos. Great work man! Just tryinf to figure out how you played it by pausing the video one step at a time.
