In this time
before we dream,
I have never known
feelings so deep.
Oh, my angel
sweet and sad,
what could you see
in this saint gone bad?
If this world would end today,
still our souls together would remain
like two spirits free, untouched,
like two diamonds in the dust.
(Don't tear down paradise).
How long lasts love
before you lose it?
How long, how long?
Don't tear down paradise.
How long lasts love
before you lose it?
How long, how long?
Then into this peaceful time
comes a cloud filled
with doubts that cannot be.
And I try to shut my mind,
but they can't be denied
'cause if this world came to an end,
would we unite somehow to love again?
(Don't tear down paradise).
How long lasts love
before you lose it?
How long, how long?
Don't tear down paradise.
How long lasts love
before you lose it?
How long, how long?
(Don't tear down paradise).
How long lasts love
before you lose it?
How long, how long?
Don't tear down paradise.
How long lasts love?
Tell me, how long does love last?
