Take me as I am
Put your hand in mine now and forever
Darling here I stand,
Stand before you now. Deep inside I always knew
It was you, you and me
Two hearts drawn together bound by destiny
It was you, and you for me
Every road leads to your door, every step I take for evermore


Just say you love me for the rest of your life
I gotta lot of love, and I don't wanna let go
Will you still love me for the rest of my life?
'Cause I can't go on
No, I can't go on
I can't go on
If I'm on my own

Take me as I am
Put your heart in mine, stay with me forever
'Cause I am just a man who never understood
I never had a thing to prove
'Till there was you, you and me
Then it all came clear so suddenly
How close to you that I wanna be

[Chorus]

Do you believe a love could run so strong?
Do you believe a love could pass you by?
There was no special one for me
I was the lonely one, you see
But then my heart lost all control
Now you're all that I know

[Chorus]

I can't go on (Can't go on)
No, I can't go on

'Cause I can't go on (Will you still love me?)
No, I can't go on (Just say you love me)
I can't go on
Without somebody I can call my own
'Cause I can't go on (Will you still love me?)
No, I can't go on (Just say you love me)
Just stay around
'Cause I can't go on (Will you still love me?)
No, I can't go on (Just say you love me)
I can't go on, if you could say your love
'Cause I can't go on (Will you still love me?)
No, I can't go on (Just say you love me)
Stay around, you'll never be alone
