After the hero stumbles,
After the lady cries,
After the fortress tumbles,
Somehow our love survives.

Each time we touch each other the chemistry revives;
Each kiss contains an energy exchange:
Somehow our love survives.

Now we're in our prime and it's Once Upon a Time...
Paper lanterns in the trees.
The photograph is framed
But the feeling's still the same:
I'm there for you and you're always there for me.

After the hero stumbles,
After the lady cries,
After the fortress tumbles,
Somehow our love survives.

After the hero stumbles,
After the lady cries,
After the fortress tumbles,
Somehow our love survives.
