In Love I Abidewell you started a commotion when you walked in the placeI was flooded with emotion when I first saw your face So I had to find out if there was a chance we could be But I couldn’t understand how you could only want me
and as time went by my love grew stronger than before
so don’t be afraid
in love I abide
well you parted all the people when you walked in the room
well do you believe that fate could make us feel this way
so don’t be afraid
in love I abide ###
and as time went by my love grew stronger than before
so don’t be afraid
in love I abide
in love I abide
