I never thought I could feel like this, no
You turn my world upside down
I never thought I could love you this way
I just want you to know
And everytime I look out my window
I wish that you would be here
Â''cause everytime that I see you baby
It feels like walking on air
Â''cause IÂ'll be by your side
But I don't know if I`ll be on your mind
So tell me is it right feeling blue
If youÂ're out there
Looking for me
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna touch you right now
Because I wanna be there when you are sleeping
And anything you say IÂ'll do it for you
And I just wanna be there by your side
I wanna hold you tonight
I don't know where you are
Where you are now
But IÂ'll be waiting for you
Playing tricks with my heart
Won`t get me down
When I know youÂ're around
'cause I`ll be by your sideâ¦â¦..
I wanna hold youâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦..
If I could show you
You would know that I still care
If you still want me
You know that IÂ'll be there
And I`ll be by your side
But I don't know if IÂ'll be on your mind
