Song Lyrics

Only when my arms are holding you
Then I can close my eyes
And know our love is oh, so true
And softly like a warm and gentle rain
Something comes over me
Like nothing that I can explain
Memories in the past, they seem to fade away
Like a storm that leaves a new love in its place
So let's go on and don't look back
Cause every day's another dream come true
For me and you

Cause in the dark, you shined your light on me
Straight from the heart, touching my desire,
Fill my heart with fire, only you inspire
Let's set our spirit free, sparkle in the light
When I hold you tight, everything's alright

Let's review the pages of my the life
Read from a silent heart
Of a man that's not ashamed
To tell the world how I cherish you
Cause a million years can never be enough
my dear
How I love you and I'm wishin'
Every moment that you're here
Cause I just want to hold you tight
To close my eyes, and feel the warmth of you
Come shining through

Cause in the dark, you shined your light on me
Straight from the heart, touching my desire
Fill my heart with fire, only you inspire
Let's set our spirit free, sparkle in the light
When I hold you tight, everything's alright

I'll cross my heart and soul to get to you
Your love's so deep, I'll reach till I get through
Cause God sent you to be this part of my life
And if the years bring days of cloudy gray
I'll pull you closer to my heart and say
