You say you love me, and I believe you do
You really really love me 'cause I love you
I don't wanna take a chance
I don't wanna take a chance
I don't wanna take a chance and come out
Oh, and come out, and come out
on a losing end
I still remember the last love I had
Left me so blue and oh so sad
I just wanna let you know
I don't wanna take a chance
I don't wanna take a chance
I don't wanna take a chance and come out
Oh, and come out, and come out
On a losing end
I've had lonely days oh and lonely nights
That's something that I don't wanna go through, no no
Just give my heart some time
And I know I'll make up mind
When I give it up, I'm gonna give it up to you
You, you you you
One day, baby, when my heart is stronger
And I'll have this fear no longer
Maybe then I'll come running to you
But right now
I don't wanna take a chance
I don't wanna take a chance
I don't wanna take a chance and come out
Oh, and come out, and come out
On a losing end

Vision
What can I do when all the hope is gong
When I don’t fall in love anymore now
I used to dream but now reality won
I’ve no more tears to cry now
So I’m fighting the vision
The vision in my head
To forget all the things
Things you said
Vision
I’ve got this vision
It was the fifth drink
That made me jump into the big world
The pain
All aching bodies in the night tide
So I’m fighting the vision
The vision in my head
To forget all the things
Things you said
Vision
I’ve got this vision
I can hardly believe
What time did to me
But just look at me now boy
Ain’t it plain to see
And it’s killing me
But it was good luck
You got my out of this madhouse
This party began to be too much for my nightmare mind
So I’m fighting the vision
The vision in my head
To forget all the things
Things you said
Vision
I’ve got this vision
Etc.

That's How Strong My Love Is Songtext
That's How Strong My Love Is deutsche Übersetzung
That's How Strong My Love Is
If I was the Sun way up there
I'd go with love most everywhere
I'll be the moon when the sun goes down
Just to let you know that I'm still around.
That's how strong my love is, woh
that's how strong my love is.
Thats how strong my love is baby. baby
that's how strong my love is.
I'll be the weeping willow drowning in my tears
And you can go swimming when you are here
I'll be the rainbow after the tears are gone
Wrap you in my colors and keep you warm.
That's how strong my love is, darling
That's how strong my love is, baby
That's how strong my love is, woh
That's how strong my love is.
I'll be the ocean so deep and wide
And catch all the tears whenever you cry
I'll be the breeze after the storm is gone
To dry your eyes and love you all warm.
That's how strong my love is, baby
That's how strong my love is now
That's how strong my love is, darling
That' show strong my love is, again now.
