If you should ever want to be set free
If you're not certain your future lies with me
I'll let you go girl until your heart is sure
It's a love worth waiting for

Now I won't stop you from leaving 'cause I know
The way to keep you would be to let you go
And I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more
It's a love worth waiting for

If you should leave me, oh, please remember me
In my heart there's a fire a flame of desire for your charms
I will keep you alive this glowing ember
A love that will burn until you're back in my arms

You know my darling I need you here with me
But only to stay because it's where you ought to be
'Cause I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more
It's a love (a love) worth waiting (worth waiting) for

In my heart there's a fire (there's a fire) 
A flame of desire for your charms
A love that will burn until you're back in my arms

You know my darling I need you here with me
But only to stay because it's where you ought to be
'Cause I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more
It's a love (a love) worth waiting (worth waiting) for
It's a love (a love) worth waiting (worth waiting) for, oh, oh
