He was a poet, a dreamer
For 53 years he had kept in my heart, La Dorada
She tried so hard to forget him
But Fermina Daza would love Florentino ArizaI'll wait a lifetime if you want me to
I'll cross the last line just to get to you
I always thought love was the one thing true
I'll wait a lifetime 'cause it's all that I can doHe always spoke of forever
But Fermina doubted that any man's love could persuade her
They took a boat up the river
And Florentino found the power of love and he showed her
I'll wait a lifetime if you want me to
I'll cross the last line just to get to you
I always thought love was the one thing true
I'll wait a lifetime for youUntil the fire stops the rain, I'll wait for youI'll wait a lifetime if you want me to
I'll cross the last line just to get to you
I always thought love was the one thing true
I'll wait a lifetime 'cause it's all that I can do, oh
I'll wait a lifetime if you want me to
I'll cross the last line just to get to you
I always thought love was the one thing true
I'll wait a lifetime 'cause it's all that I can do, yeah
