Lifetime

He was a poet, a dreamer
 For 53 years he had kept in my heart, La Dorada
 She tried so hard to forget him
 But Fermina Daza would love Florentino Ariza
 I'll wait a lifetime if you want me to
 I'll cross the last line just to get to you
 I always thought love was the one thing true
 I'll wait a lifetime 'cause it's all that I can do
 He always spoke of forever
 But Fermina doubted that any man's love could persuade her
 They took a boat up the river
 And Florentino found the power of love and he showed her
 I'll wait a lifetime if you want me to
 I'll cross the last line just to get to you
 I always thought love was the one thing true
 I'll wait a lifetime for you
 Until the fire stops the rain, I'll wait for you
 I'll wait a lifetime if you want me to
 I'll cross the last line just to get to you
 I always thought love was the one thing true
 I'll wait a lifetime 'cause it's all that I can do, oh
 I'll wait a lifetime if you want me to
 I'll cross the last line just to get to you
 I always thought love was the one thing true
 I'll wait a lifetime 'cause it's all that I can do, yeah
