[@silviapd9886]

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 every day 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 every day 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 every day 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

But watching you stand alone

Darling, don't be afraid

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]

Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
[Bridge]
One step closer
One step closer

I have died every day 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

He should quit this autotune/pitch correction.

[@redy_JA]

@@jortepap no idea what you're talking about

[@jortepap]

​@@redy_JAthese are not the true live vocals. It has been edited with pitch correction. Really sad. I miss his pure live vocals.

[@redy_JA]

@@jortepap I was at a concert recently. There is hardly any difference.
