Analysis of Where Our Love Stands



The wind is howling, the rain is pouring,
The world is dark and cold.
But here in my arms, you're safe and warm,
And our love is like a golden shield.

The storm may rage outside,
But it can't touch us here.
Our love is strong, it will not break,
It will stand the test of time, I swear.

So hold me close, and let the rain fall,
Let the wind howl and the thunder crash.
I'm here with you, and that's all that matters,
Where our love stands, there is no fear.

We'll weather this storm together,
And when it's over, we'll come out stronger.
Our love will only grow more precious,
As the years go by and we grow old.

So let the storm rage on,
We'll be safe and warm inside.
Our love is our shelter, our home,
And it will stand the test of time.
