Gonna Take a Lifetime

I know you've been discouraged
And love has never been a friend to me
We both wandered in just in time
To find out that love was still waiting
It was just like in the movies
My hero came to rescue me
We moved through the night holding on
There's no letting go now that we both believe
And I believe in you and me

It's gonna take a lifetime
To get out of this one
It's gonna be forever this time
Like the waters run deep
Our love will be strong
It's gonna take a lifetime
To convince me I'm wrong

The night is slowly fading
The shadows trace your every move
The look in your eyes telling me:
"Baby, I can't live without you"
Now my heart has found its cradle
And your love has found a place to call its own
Somehow I know, oh-whoa
Somehow we've finally found our way home

It's gonna take a lifetime
To get out of this one
It's gonna be forever this time
Like the waters run deep
Our love is so strong
It's gonna take a lifetime
To convince me I'm wrong

I'm watching you, so breathlessly
I know sometimes you're watching me
When we get close, it takes me higher
Than I ever dreamed
I'm gonna love you endlessly
Endlessly, yeah

It's gonna take a lifetime
To get out of this one, baby

Now I never doubted our love would survive
I'm right here for ya, baby

It's gonna take a lifetime
To get out of this one
It's gonna be forever this time
Like the waters run deep
This love, this love will be strong

It's gonna take forever
To convince me I'm wrong
Convince me I'm wrong, yeah
Like the waters run deep
This love is so strong

It's gonna take a lifetime
To get out of this one, oh...
