You roll through life like a roaring fire I bring the rain like a thunderstorm Yeah, we found peace on a battlefield It all makes sense in love and war It all makes sense in love and war You and me, wild as a willow in a hurricane Strong enough to stand in the stormy weather We might be crazy enough to make history 'Cause the world just ain't the same since we got together And if we don't die young, we might just live forever There are kings and queens up on their thrones That have a love like you and me Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall But love has last eternally Love has last eternally You and me, wild as a willow in a hurricane Strong enough to stand in the stormy weather We might be crazy enough to make history 'Cause the world just ain't the same since we got together And if we don't die young, we might just live forever They might sing us in a song Or write our names up in the sky Even when it's carved in stone A love like ours goes on and on A love like ours goes on and on You and me, wild as a willow in a hurricane Strong enough to stand in the stormy weather We might be crazy enough to make history 'Cause the world just ain't the same since we got together And if we don't die young, we might just live forever You roll through life like a roaring fire I bring the rain like a thunderstorm
