[Verse 1]
It all started nine years ago
You sat to my left back in school
The future showed itself to me
The god in you, the god in me
Stood together like two trees

[Verse 2]
I was so shy to inquire
If you'd like tea sometime (Mmm)
But then in my Mercury
Hand on hand, hand on knee
Mercy, mercy, mercy me
Hand on hand, hand on knee
Mercy, mercy

[Chorus]
And I believe in love
To be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way
And I believe in love
To be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way
To find our inner light

[Verse 3]
I saw a vision where we
Were opening presents Christmas Day
But we were not all alone
The wedding was shotgun
We had a daughter and a son
[Verse 4]
So how cruel to realize
You had a woman all the time (Mmm)
But my love burns bright as the sun
The clouds may come, the clouds may go
And I'll still be here at your door
The clouds may come, the clouds may go
And I'll still be here

[Chorus]
And I believe in love
To be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way
And I believe in love
To be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way

[Bridge]
Thank you for waiting through my lovers
Knowing we could come home to each other
Yes, I have waited through these winters
My true one was waiting here

[Chorus]
And I believe in love
To be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way
And I believe in love
To be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way
[Outro]
And I believe in love, love, love
I believe in love, all your loving, all your loving
And I believe in love, love, yeah, ooh, ooh, loving, loving
I believe in love, ooh, loving, ooh
I believe in love, yeah
