You painted me a picture of tomorrow
A place where You and I walked hand in hand
A world without despair and without shadows
But things just didn’t turn out how we’d planned
Now You’re gone
And I believe that there is somewhere
Where the angels fill the sky
And I believe we’ll live forever
You and I, You and I
Will never die (die die die)
I wonder if You knew that You were leaving
I thought that I saw something in Your eyes
You painted me a picture of believing
I’ll see You there on the other side
And I’ll be there
You and I will never die..
You and I will never die..
We’ll live forever…
We’ll live forever…
Will never die (die die die)
Will never die (die die die)
Whoa… we’ll live forever
I believe we’ll live forever
I believe.. we gonna live forever
We’ll live forever
