Outside the gates of heaven Oh, there lives a unicorn I close my eyes to seven Oh, this world is not my home A broken heart in danger And a pillow filled with tears Oh, can you see the strangers? In the pain and in the fears Can you feel my heart? Baby don't give up Can you feel my love tonight? In 100 years Love is illegal In 100 years from now In 100 years Love is illegal in this lonely, heartbreak town In 100 years Love is illegal All your dreams will die In 100 years Love is illegal And your hope will not survive L.O.V.E. Love is illegal in my heart Hear my heart is beating L.O.V.E. Love is illegal in my heart Hear my heart is beating You're looking through a fire Computers everywhere Oh, you're a shotgun rider Controllers here and there And you read old love letters Drowning in the sea Oh baby it doesn't matter Oh you've lost all what you feel Can you feel my heart? Baby don't give up Can you feel my love tonight
