[Intro]
(Nothing else matters
We’re together again)[Verse 1]
Together again
My tears have stopped falling
The long, lonely nights
Are now at an end[Verse 2]
The key to my heart (The key to my heart)
You hold in your hand (You hold in your hand)
And nothing else matters
We’re together again[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Together again
All the grey skies are gone
You’re back in my arms
Now, where you belong[Verse 4]
The love that I knew (The love that I knew)
Is living again (Is living again)
And nothing else matters
We’re together again (We’re together again)
