---

Shadows of darkness they're hiding my tears

Draining my heart away, turning a blind eye

My only fear, but now that you've gone my way

I see the world in a different light

A cleansing of my soul

And so I'm taking on my life

And giving it my all

(chorus)

Tears were just an emotion

I'll swim every lake, every ocean for you

I'll dream forever

In the streams of heaven, oh baby

I love you more than I can say

That's why I'm writing you this song

And now I'm begging you to stay

If forever's not too long

(chorus)

Please don't ever let the love we shared drift away

Tears were just an emotion, I'll swim every lake

Every ocean for you

Oh baby, you know that it's true
