Lyrics:

Ooh-ooh, ooh
You are the candle, love’s the flameA fire that burns through wind and rainShine your light on this heart of mine‘Til the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the nightJust shinin’ like the sunOut of my dreams and into my lifeYou are the one, you are the one
Said I loved you, but I lied‘Cause this is more than love I feel insideSaid I loved you, but I was wrong‘Cause love could never ever feel so strongSaid I loved you, but I lied
With all my soul I’ve tried in vainHow can mere words my heart explainThis taste of heaven so deep, so trueI’ve found in you
So many reasons in so many waysMy life has just begun, yeahNeed you forever and I need you to stayYou are the one, you are the one
Said I loved you, but I lied‘Cause this is more than love I feel insideSaid I loved you, but I was wrong‘Cause love could never ever feel so strongI said I loved you, but I lied
You came to me like the dawn through the nightJust shinin’ like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my lifeYou are the one, you are the one
Said I loved you, but I lied (said I loved you, but I lied)‘Cause this is more than love I feel inside (said I loved you, but I lied)Said I loved you, but I was wrong (said I loved you, but I’m wrong)‘Cause love could never ever feel so strongSaid I loved you (said I loved you)‘Cause this is more than love I feel insideSaid I loved you, but I lied
