If you should ever want to be set free
  
   If you're not certain your future lies with me
  
   I'll let you go
   girl
   until your heart is sure
  
   It's a love worth waiting for.
   Now I won't stop you from leaving 'cos I know
  
   The way to keep you would be to let you go.
   And I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more
  
   It's a love worth waiting for.
   If you should leave me
   oh please
   remember in my heart there's a fire
  
   A flame of desire for your charms.
   I will keep you alive
   this glowing ember.
   A love that will burn until you're back in my arms.
   You know
   my darling
   I need you here with me
  
   But only to stay because it's where you ought to be.
   'Cos I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more
  
   It's a love worth waiting for.
   In my heart there's a fire
  
   A flame of desire for your charms.
   A love that will burn until
   You're back in my arms.
   You know
   my darling
  
   I need you here with me
   . . .
   It's a love worth waiting for.
