LYRICS

Drifting on a memory
Ain't no place I'd rather be than with you
Loving you
Day will make the way for night
All we need is candlelight
And a song, soft and long
Well, you'd like to think
We're alone with a love unlike no other
Sad to see, a new horizon slowly coming into view


Chorus:

I want to be living for the love of you
All that I'm giving is for the love of you


Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the morning comes
Feels good to me
My loving me, yeah
Smoother then a gentle breeze
Flowing from my mind with ease
Soft as can be
Well, when you're loving me, ooh baby
Love to be
Riding the waves of love enchanted with your touch
It seems to me
We can sail together in and out of mystery


chorus


Paradise, I hafta think, can't feel as secure again
You're the key
And this I see
Now and then I lose my way
Confusing words to try and say what I feel
Yeah, your love is real
I might as well, sign my name on a card that's been saying better
See, time will tell
Cause it seems that I've done just about all that I can do


chorus
