Looking in your eyes
I see a paradise
This world that I've found 
Is too good to be true
Standing here beside you
Want so much to give you
This love in my heart
That I'm feeling for you

Let 'em say we're crazy
I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand baby
Don't ever look back
Let the world around us 
Just fall apart
Baby, we can make it 
If we're heart to heart

And we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now

And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us now

I'm so glad I found you
I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes 
I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times
See you through the bad times
Whatever it takes
Here's what I'm gonna do

Let 'em say we're crazy
What do they know
Put your arms around me baby
Don't ever let go
Let the world around us 
Just fall apart
Baby, we can make it
If we're heart to heart

And we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now

And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us

Ooh, all that I need is you
All that I ever need
And all that I want to do
Is hold you forever, ever and ever

And we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now

And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us

And we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Nothing's gonna stop us now

And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us

And we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Nothing's gonna stop us 

And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us now

And we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
