Can I hold you in my arms tonight?
Can I make your head and body light?
Can I tell you everything?
Can I make your sweet heart sing?
Can I discover about you?
I never feel alone when I'm with you
I never have to talk when I'm with you
It really is a lonely world
It helps if you have someone to hold
I want that someone to be you
You are never far away from my day dreams
There never are the words to say
For in our world we're one
And with every rising sun there is you
Can I hold you in my arms tonight?
Can I make your head and body light?
Can I tell you everything?
Can I make your sweet heart sing?
Can I discover about you?
I never feel alone when I'm with you
I never have to talk when I'm with you
It really is a lonely world
It helps if you have someone to hold
I want that someone to be you
