For a thousand days

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
