I would walk to the edge of the universe for you
Paint you a crimson sunset over sheltering skies
I could learn all the world dialects for you
Whisper sonnets in your ear discovering through
I could never worship pagan gods around me
I will only follow the path that leads me to you baby, always
Every step I take for you, I will always defend
Never pretend that every breath I take for love
I could never be wrong, the journey is long
With miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep
I would carry the rock of Gibraltar just for you
Lifted like a pebble from the beach to the skies
I could build you a bridge that spans the ocean wide
But the greatest gift I'd give you would be to stand by your side
Some can criticize and sit in judgment of us, babe
But they can't take away the love that lives inside us, always
Every step I take for you, I will always defend
Never pretend that every breath I take for love
I could never be wrong, the journey is long
With miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep
I won't run from the changing signs along the highway
Let the rivers flow to the highest ground created
Every step I take for you, I will always defend
Never pretend that every breath I take for love
I could never be wrong, the journey is long
With miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep
Miles to go before I sleep
