Song Pattern:

-------------

*Part A*

  There is not a river wide

*Part B*

  Not a mountain high

*PART A* (play 4 times)

  And neither sin nor evil

  Could change how I feel inside

  Could change how I feel inside

  Not all the strength of the ocean

*PART B*

  Not all the heat from the sun, from the sun

*PART C*

  No others have tried, I just can't deny

*PART A* (play twice)

  For me you are the one

  For me you are the one

*PART D* (play twice)

  But true love is priceless

  For true love we pay a price

*PART E*

  But there's nothing can keep me from loving you

  not fire, no not ice

  not fire, no not ice

*PART A*

  Like a hero or the champion

*PART B*

  You are the best, you're the best

*PART A* (play four times)

  Like religion or superstition

  With you I am blessed

  With you I am blessed

  Now the river may grow wider

*PART B*

  The mountains may reach past the sky

*PART C*

  And whether or not you feel same

*PART A* (play twice)

  My love shall never die

  My love shall never die

*PART D* (play twice)

  But true love is give and take

  True love is sacrifice

*PART E*

But there's nothing can keep me from loving you

Not fire no not ice

Not fire no not ice
