[Verse]
When I look back on everything I've done
I know you must have cried a river of tears
But you were there when I was feelin' low
To walk me through my darkest fears
[Pre-Chorus]
So when the Sun goes down
And those nights grow colder
I will be there
Lookin' over your shoulder
[Chorus]
And the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion
And the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion
[Verse]
There were times I almost let you go
When I thought I needed to break free
But you were there to whisper in my ear
Why don't you share your dreams with me?
[Pre-Chorus]
So when the Sun goes down
And those nights are growin' colder
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder
[Chorus]
And the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion
And the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion
[Bridge]
I don't mind what you're doin' to me
I don't mind 'cause you're all I can see
I don't mind, baby you mean the world to me
[Bridge]
When the Sun goes down
And those nights are growin' colder
I will be there
Lookin' over your shoulder
Baby, baby, baby
[Lead: Vai]
[Pre-Chorus]
So when the Sun goes down
And those nights are growin' colder
I will be there
Lookin' over your shoulder
[Chorus]
'Cause the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion
And the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion
(Get into it, babe)
[Chorus]
The deeper the love
The stronger the emotion
And the stronger the love
The deeper, the deeper
The deeper the devotion
[Outro]
I never gonna let you go
In my heart, I know
I really love ya, I love ya
Ooh babe, I really love you
Ooh, huh huh huh huh
