Lyrics I Believe in Love (Jonathan Peter's edit) - Paula Cole

It all started nine years ago
You sat to my left back in school
The future showed itself to me
The God in you, the God in me
Stood together like two trees

I was so shy to inquire
If you would like tea sometime
But then in my Mercury
Hand on hand, hand on knee, mercy, mercy, mercy me
Hand on hand, hand on knee, mercy, mercy

And I believe in love to be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way
And I believe in love to be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way
To find our inner light

I saw a vision where we
Were opening presents Christmas Day
But we were not all alone
The wedding was shotgun
We had a daughter and a son

So how cruel to realize
You had a woman all the time, umm hmm
My love burns bright as the sun
The clouds may come, the clouds may go
And I'll still be here at your door
The clouds may come, the clouds may go
And I'll still be here

And I believe in love to be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way
And I believe in love to be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way

Thank you for waiting through my lovers
Knowing we could come home to each other
Yes, I have waited through these winters
My true love was waiting here, yeah

And I believe in love to be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way
And I believe in love to be the center of all things
And I believe in love to be the way

And I believe in love, love, love, I believe in love
I'll go on lovin', I'll go on lovin', I believe in love
Love yes love, love, I believe in love
And I believe in love, love, love, yeah yeah
Love, love, love
