It was a coldest day in December
A day I always will remember
I looked into your eyes
And faced my deepest fear
I had drifted to far
Far from you my dear

CHORUS:
So how could I
Turn away from the one I love
How could I
When I know what my heart's made of
Could it be
That your soul lives inside of me
How could I ever say good-bye
Why was I so afraid to tell her
That for her I would fight a thousand soldiers
But just like an angry child
I kept my feelings locked inside
There were rivers of tears
But the one thing I knew in my heart
Is that I was fading much too fast

So how could I
Turn away from the one I love
How could I
When I know what my heart's made of
Could it be
That your soul lives inside of me
How could I ever say good-bye
Why was I so afraid to tell her
That for her I would fight a thousand soldiers
But just like an angry child
I kept my feelings locked inside
There were rivers of tears
But the one thing I knew in my heart
Is that I was fading much too fast
