This kind of love
Is more than a lifeline
For a man as weak as me
Who has no
Self believe

This kind of love
Is more than amazing
For a man who
Lost his way
Who thought it was too late

How did the sea
How did
The sea
How did the sea get so rough
I would've drowned
I would've
Drowned
If you hadn't given me your love

You're the light in the
Dark
You're the seat in the park
You're the lighthouse
You're the
Lighthouse
That I need
You're the key to the door
You're the Port in the
Storm
And I need to find a shore
When I can't swim anymore
You always guide
Me back to solid ground
You're my lighthouse

This kind of love
Is
More than a feeling
For a man who rarely cried
I get all choked up each
Time
You say you love me
You could've walked away
Could've give my problems
Back
Could've left

You took the chance

How did the
Waves
How did the waves
How did the waves get so high
I would've
Died
I would've died
If you hadn't loved me just in
Time

You're the light in the dark
You're the seat in the
Park
You're the lighthouse
You're the lighthouse
That I
Need
You're the key to the door
You're the Port in the Storm
When I need to
Find a shore
Cos I can't swim anymore
You always guide me back to solid
Ground
You're my lighthouse

Yeah, I owe it all to you everything I have
Right now
I owe it all to you everything I didn't have you found
Everytime take me
Back to you

You're the light in the dark
You're the seat in the
Park
You're the lighthouse
You're the lighthouse
I need
You're the
Key to the door
You're the Port in the Storm
And I need to find the shore
Cos
I can't swim anymore
You always guide me back to solid ground
You're my
Lighthouse
