Baby you
turned my world into something new
whisper softly to the wind
nights are long when you're far away
need you back in my arms again
passion calls from deep inside
hunger for you every night and day
it only happens when my love cries
you make my heart sing...(x6)
(Chorus):
when love cries...love cries...love cries
close my eyes and dream of you
And when I am blue
silent ehoes scream out your name
you're the keeper of my flame
I'll survive on desire
ride a star across the sky
'til I'm closer to your burning fire
I need you here when my love cries
(Chorus x 2)
ooh baby
to be near you...
just to feel you...
Baby baby
baby baby
you do it to me...do it to me
baby baby
baby baby
you do it to me...
(Rap):
In my heart
I might no hear it anymore
I never felt it quite like this before
and if I let it slip
I look into your eyes...ooh
and I get a chill
I hear your name
my world comes to a stand-still
I wanna be
The keeper of your flame
two hearts together
'til eternity
hand in hand
stride by stride
side by side
when love cries
we'll be the one who hear
(Chorus repeats)
