If a picture paints a thousand words, 
Then why can´t I paint you? 
The words will never show 
The you I´ve come to know 

If a face could launch a thousand ships, 
Then where am I to go? 
There´s no one home but you, 
You´re all that´s left me too 

And when my love for life is running dry, 
You come and pour yourself on me 
If I could be two places at one time, 
I´d be with you 

Tomorrow and today, 
Beside you all the way 
If the world should stop revolving 
Spinning slowly down to die, 

I´d spend the end with you 
And when the world was through, 
Then one by one the stars would all go out, 
Then you and I would simply fly away 

If a picture paints a thousand words, 
Then why can´t I paint you? 
'Cause the words could never show 
The you I´ve come to know 

And one by one the stars will all go out, 
But you and I will simply fly away 
We'll fly away
