Allianoi is an ancient spa settlement, with remains dating predominantly from the Roman Empire period (2nd century AD) located near the city of Bergama (ancient Pergamon) in Turkey's İzmir Province. The site is at a distance of 18 kilometers to the northeast of Bergama, on the road to the neighboring town of İvrindi. Allianoi is directly inside the reservoir of the Yortanlı Dam, built by the Turkish State Hydraulic Works. After ongoing discussion in Turkey with regards to preserving Allianoi's ruins, the site was covered with sand and the dam was activated, resulting in Allianoi's complete inundation and destruction in February 2011.[citation needed]
One particularity of Allianoi is its being a very recent historical discovery. It was mentioned only once in the 2nd century by the orator and medicinal writer Aelius Aristides in his "Hieroi Logoi" (Sacred Tales) (III.1), one of the key sources for the knowledge on the science of healing as it was understood at that time. No other writer of antiquity nor any epigraphic finding known had referred to Allianoi.
[Intro:]
When I close my eyes
I see you, running through my mind
I feel you,
I breathe you
Oh, how I need you
[Chorus:]
Finally we found the love of our lifetime
And I can see my whole future in your eyes
I don't believe when they say love is blind
I can see clearly baby, you and me,
We found the love of our lifetime
[Verse 1:]
Forever is not enough time to spend with you
I wanna love you longer
Cause baby with every single thing you do
I wanna love you stronger
Searching for love all my life
Now that I found you
I realize, baby with you I'm alive
So alive
[Chorus:]
Finally we found the love of our lifetime
And I can see my whole future in your eyes
I don't believe when they say love is blind
I can see clearly baby, you and me,
We found the love of our lifetime
[Verse 2:]
And it's incredible how you know me each and every way
So unforgetable that the we feel it can never change
All that I need and adore
All I been asking, all I been longing for
This is it, I'm sure
I'm so sure
[Chorus:]
Finally we found the love of our lifetime
And I can see my whole future in your eyes
I don't believe when they say love is blind
I can see clearly baby, you and me,
We found the love of our lifetime
[Verse 3:]
A lifetime of me holding you
So close I breathe you in
My fantasy turn real and I'll be loving you until
Forever's gone away and starts over again
Our love will remain
[Chorus:]
Finally we found the love of our lifetime
And I can see my whole future in your eyes
I don't believe when they say love is blind
I can see clearly baby, you and me,
We found the love of our lifetime
[Verse 1:]
Forever is not enough time to spend with you
I wanna love you longer
Cause baby with every single thing you do
I wanna love you stronger
Searching for love all my life
Now that I found you
I realize, baby with you I'm alive
So alive
[Chorus:]
Finally we found the love of our lifetime
And I can see my whole future in your eyes
I don't believe when they say love is blind
I can see clearly baby, you and me,
