It all started nine years ago
You sat to my left, back in school
The future showed itself to me
The god in you, the god in me, stood together like two trees

I was so shy to inquire 
If you'd like tea sometime
But then in my Mercury
Hand on hand, hand on knee, mercy, mercy, mercy me
Hand on hand, hand on knee, mercy, mercy

And I believe in love to be, the center of all this 
And I believe in love to be, the way
And I believe in love to be, the center of all those things
And I believe in love to be, the way to find our inner light

I saw a vision where we
Were opening presents Christmas Day
But we were not all alone 
The wedding was shotgun, we had a daughter and a son

So how cruel to realize
You had a woman all the time
But my love burns bright as the sun
The clouds may come, the clouds may go and I'll still be here at your door
The clouds may come, the clouds may go and I'll still be here

And I believe in love to be, the center of all the things
And I believe in love to be, the way
And I believe in love to be, the center of all this
And I believe in love to be, the way 

Thank you for waiting through my lovers
Knowing we could come home to each other
Yes, I have waited through these winters, oh
My true one was waiting here

And I believe in love to be, the center of all this
And I believe in love to be, the way
And I believe in love to be, the center of all the things
And I believe in love to be, the way

And I believe in love, love, love...
