All the faces in the crowd
All the singing long and loud
Celebrations on the midnight clear
Set the world alight
All the fire in the sky
I can see it in your eyes
And I could love you for a thousand years
The way you are tonight
The way you hold me
The way you sing along
Find a way to make me feel so good
Whenever else is wrong
There are times I get to see
All the things you mean to me
I could love you for a thousand years
The way you are tonight
See all the tired faces
Going on their way
And in the east there's just the palest line
That shows the coming of the day
As it breaks across the sky
I can see it in your eyes
I could love you for a thousand years
The way you are tonight
As it breaks across the sky
In the closing of your eyes
I could love you for a thousand years
The way you are tonight
