She's just sixteen years old Leave her alone, they say Separated by fools Who don't know what love is yet But I want you to know If I could fly I'd pick you up I'd take you into the night And show you a love Like you've never seen - ever seen. It's like having a dream Where nobody has a heart It's like having it all And watching it fall apart And I would wait till the end of time for you And do it again, it's true I can't measure my love There's nothing to compare it to But I want you to know If I could fly I'd pick you up I'd take you into the night And show you a love Like you've never seen - ever seen.
