🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Look at me and tell me, you don’t love meTake my hand and say it can’t beKiss me once and just before you walk awayListen first to what your senses say‘Cause I can see me loving you foreverI can feel my arms around your lifeI can taste your lips against my memoryListen to your senses, what they have to sayLove can hurt, love can scar you
The time just best to turn awayBut Love can heal and love can save youToday is not like yesterdayI can see me loving you foreverI can feel my arms around your lifeI can taste your lips against my memoryListen to your senses, what they have to say‘Cause I can see me loving you forever
I can feel my arms around your lifeI can taste your lips against my memoryListen to your senses, what they have to sayListen to your senses, what they have to sayI can see me loving you forever
