A thousand

You can say you're in love
And have been in love before
"This time I swear it's true"
But your wisdom's got you tore

Once you lived a thousand years
Then you'll know
When you've cried a thousand tears
The knowledge shows

After you've lived a thousand lives
Then you've learned
After you've worked a thousand days
You'll find you've earned

Once you've had a thousand laughs
You can't fall
Once you've spoken a thousand words
And meant them all

Once you've kissed a thousand kisses
And never told
Once you've heard a thousand stories
And they never got old

You can love a thousand times
Until your heart goes numb
There's a thousand people
But you only need one.
