Do you feel what I feel
When you look at me
Why do I feel in my heart
That we’re meant to be
Please forgive the words I say
Whenever you’re around
You’re my sweetest dream
A treasure I have found
Why - How can we find true love again
The healing kind that takes your mind
Why - How can we reach the soul within
Give all our heart and be born again
Rededicate this love affair - release it in the air
Rely upon the wings of love to take us there
My arms are open wide come get
This gift of love from me
I will give you anything
Cause’ you hold the key
Just lay your body on me
And nature will run free
We can give inside -making love all night
And find our destiny
Chorus
Why does my heart tell me its right
Feeling you touch all though the night
Tell me your love will never die
The thought of you is a natural high
