Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
I believe its meat to be, darling
I watch you when you are sleeping,
You belong with me
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I dont want to lose this feeling, oh
