Don't ask me, what you know is true

Don't have to tell you, I love your precious heart

I was standing

You were there

Two worlds collided

And they could never tear us apart

Am F
We could live for a thousand years
Dm F
But if I hurt you, I'd make wine from your tears
Am F
I told you that we could fly
Dm F
Cause we all have wings but some of us don't know why
C F
I
C F
I was standing
C F
You were there
C F
Two worlds collided
G
And they could never, ever, tear us apart

| I'm thinkin it's totally about complete and absolute LOVE at first sight. An unforgettalbe, once in a lifetime experience that only the lucky few will endure. Never has a love song touched me so strongly over and over again through the years. A classic in any generation. Play it for your childre, and thier childre, and the childre to come. This song deserves to live . | |

| 'i was standing, you were there.. two worlds colided and they could never tear us apart' this may mean like one of those slow motion moments in movies whe the guy sees the girl of his dreams.. i just think of that and then they bond quickly? | |

| A song about love by first look ?...yes...but the love ended in a tragedy ? - maybe:"I told you That we could fly 'Cause we all have wings But some of us don't know why"...in this case he tries to handle what has happened, but he´s stuck in the process of mourning --> last verse | |

| I don't understand why the relationship has to be over. Reading the lyrics, there doesn't to be any overt sign of it. | |
