[Verse 1]
Say no more
If you want to kiss goodnight
That's all right by me
Close your door
Make sure the latch is tight
Fall gently to sleep

[Pre-Chorus]
We don't have to rush ahead
Putting questions in your head
And an ache in your heart

[Chorus]
Let's take a lifetime
All that we desire
Build it day by day into forever
Let's take a lifetime
All that you require
Here and now and ever

[Verse 2]
In these times
Love is not some harmless game
It's played strictly for keeps
No, and it's no crime
Wanting me to feel the same
With water so deep
[Pre-Chorus]
Come tomorrow once again
We'll be together until then
We have dreaming to do

[Chorus]
Let's take a lifetime
All that we desire
Build it day by day into forever
Let's take a lifetime
All that you require
Here and now and lasting evermore

[Bridge]
So hard to leave you standing there in the night
You look so lovely
If we must wait
No use tempting fate

[Chorus]
Let's take a lifetime
All that we desire
Build it day by day into forever
Let's take a lifetime (Let's take our time)
All that you require (All that you require)
Let's not hurry through the night
When our love could last a lifetime
All that we desire (All that we desire)
Build it day by day into forever (Into forever)
Let's take a lifetime (A lifetime)
All that you require
Let's not hurry through the night
When our love could last a lifetime (Let's take)
All that we desire
