I Never Thought I'd Say This... (Edie Carey)

After 20 years and 3,000 miles I've finally found my home And now I live in legends of days gone by Amongst the crumbling glories of Rome And now I find myself speaking in foreign tongues Of future, love, and wedded bliss Even though I swore I'd never be among the ones Who spoke of things like this But now you're standing right in front of me In all of your purity and grace And though they all told me it would be this way I have not the strength to face that Somehow after all who came before I still believe in true love And if you kiss my forehead one more time I think I'll have to marry you So we've got a year in which to tell this tale Of a love that could not be And harsh reality is more on my trail With every passing week And oh my love have you heard of little Italy' It's in the city where I thrive We could find humble refuge there And keep this love alive But somewhere in between lies Ireland Sown with my roots and your dreams And we'd let the great green swallow us so willingly So willingly because Somehow after all who came before I still believe in true love And if you kiss my forehead one more time I think I'll have to marry you Do you remember that perfect day' It was that once-in-a-lifetime kind We didn't even care when the old man walked by And heaven was that hillside You know it's strange But I can see us When we're old and gray But happy with our lives We'll interrupt our talk of Sascha With shared contented sighs But who are you to make me think these thoughts' You know this isn't like me It goes against all that I've been taught But I'll try hard and I'll try hard and I'll try hard To let it be Somehow after all who came before I still believe in true love And if you kiss my forehead one more time I think I'll have to marry you
