Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I was doin' the night shift, you were a dancer

Here and there searchin' everywhere for an answer

Two hearts are better than one - we'll never come undone

We did it all, we'd do it again in a heartbeat

You gotta go the distance right to the end

We took it all the way and in a heartbeat

We did it all and we'd do it again

You and me - there were times when we could do no wrong

Life goes by and I remember why we stayed so strong

If not for you I don't know what I would do

We did it all, we'd do it again in a heartbeat

You gotta go the distance right to the end

We took it all the way and in a heartbeat

We did it all

And we'd do it again

We did it all and we'd do it again

We did it all and we'd do it again
