All of the lonely nights 
Waiting for you to come, longing to hold you tight 
I need you so desperately 
Waiting for you to come bringing your love to me [but] 

I'd wait a million years 
Walk a million miles, cry a million tears 
I'd swim the deepest sea 
Climb the highest hill, just to have you near me 

As love is reality 
When you are near to me, I am in ecstacy 
I'd swallow the pain and pride 
Baby, I just can't hide all that I feel inside [and] 

I'd wait a million years 
Walk a million miles, cry a million tears 
I'd swim the deepest sea 
Climb the highest hill, just to have you near me 

A million years, I would wait for you 
A million tears, baby I'd be true 
A million miles, I would follow you 
A million years, if you want me to 

Pacing the floor, detest 
Sweat pouring down my chest, still I can't love you less 
It's worth all the pain and pride 
Baby, I just can't hide all that I feel inside [and] 

I'd wait a million years 
Walk a million miles, cry a million tears 
I'd swim the deepest sea 
Climb the highest hill, just to have you near me
