How can this be

Why does the light

Shine on your face just right

Why are your eyes still laughing for me


Your closet's full 

So why don't you let go everything

Darlin' these songs I sing

Speak to a love that's living inside


For a thousand days and nights

I stood outside your door

Watchin' the shades pull down

Til I couldn't watch no more

Runnin' under a willow tree 

That followed me when the moon was hidin'

And only light I saw

Was the candle burnin' by your bed


So how can this be

Why does the wind

Carry the scent of your skin

Tell me how did this ever begin

 

For a thousand days and nights

For a thousand days

For a thousand days and nights

For a thousand days

For a thousand days and nights

I waited on the words

Silence hung around my head

Cryin' like a flock of birds

Waitin' for the sweetest dream

That always left me hungry

Lookin' back I guess it seems

You never really loved me


Love like wine

Sweeter in time

It's a love so fine

Gonna lose my mind

Cuz I'm still so blind in love


It makes no sense

Still  somehow I believe

Even a heart in chains

Still holds onto the love that remains


For a thousand days and nights

For a thousand days

For a thousand days and nights

For a thousand days

For a thousand days and nights

For a thousand days


Love like wine

Sweeter in time

It's a love so fine

Gonna lose my mind

Cuz I'm still so blind in love


How can this be

Why does the light
