Lyrics
I had no reason to believe that love was true
Infatuation was a game for lonely fools
I wanted freedom but I guess I always knew
You love would entangle my emotions
I feel the power when I hold you close
Got to feel you, near me, baby
You take me higher than I thought I could go
Can’t hide it any longer, I need you to know
Now I’m touched by your magic
At last I can breathe in all of your love
I couldn’t hide from the feelings here inside
Cos I’ve waited so long
This is some kind of magic
I know that to lose your love would be
more than I could bear
I would you anywhere
I can’t imagine I could change the way I feel
When I paint a picture of love it’s you I’m thinking of
No hesitation, when you call me I’ll be there
You know, we’ve got something to believe in
I never knew it was so easy to love
But I just can’t help it, baby
This love is moving and it’s out of control
Can’t try any harder, I need you to know
Even when the clouds drift across the sky
I know that we’ll make it somehow
Together we’ll survive
If we only believe in love
This love is loving and it’s out of control
Can’t try any harder, I need you to know
At last I can breathe in all your love
I couldn’t hide from the feelings here
inside…
