I thought it was time that I made myself clear
I want to leave no doubts in your mind
In every lifetime comes a moment of realisation
when clarity is easier to find

My understanding comes from just how much I need you
and the warmth you bring into this cold old heart
But all my failings only serve as a reminder
that the lives we live can easily fall apart

But my dear I always felt so safe in your hands
You always stop me straying into the shadowlands
And I will testify to love

The years keep passing by like strangers on the subway
and life can seem too long and then too short
But in this moment as the future comes to pass
I know that you're the one I count on for support

Sometimes we have to wait a lifetime for fulfillment
and for some, it can be a lifetime filled with pain
But pain can disappear inside your sweet embrace
like a shot of morphine pumped into my veins

And so my dear I'll walk with you forever hand in hand
I'll walk beside you and always be at your command
And I will testify to love

Touch a fire and we burn
It's a lesson we must learn
That the things we do aren't easy to undo
But baby don't be concerned
The fires have all been burned
And the fact that I survived is down to you – to you

I do my thinking in the small hours of the morning
when the only sounds are drunkards in the street
But I don't hear them I just listen to the music
with the songs that I might sing you on repeat

And so my dear the the road ahead will take us on our way
However it turns out we're moving on from yesterday
And I will testify to love
And I will testify to love
