Deep within the night
You leave me all alone
When you say goodbye
I close my eyes, I can't see
Should have known
Your smile is amazing
I miss you the moment that you're gone
From my arms
Your kisses are blazing
A fire I've waited for so long
I could go on and on
But you, you know
You know what it's like, oh baby
When love feels
When everything feels right, so right
Like a fire, warm
Glowing in the night, so bright
I say you, surely you know
You know what it's like
When we're holding hands
Walking in the daylight
Feels so nice
Truly, it's romance
Keeps me holding so tight
So good, so right
I sing from the mountain
I come down to whisper in your ear
La, la, la, la
I spring like a fountain
I tell you the words you love to hear
But there's no meaning, my dear
Because you, you know
You know what it's like, oh baby
When love feels
When everything feels right, so right
Like a fire, warm
Glowing in the night, so bright
I say you, surely you know
You know what it's like, yeah, yeah
I know you, you know
You know what it's like, oh baby
When love feels
When everything feels right, so right
Like a fire, warm
Glowing in the night, so bright
I say you, surely you know
You know what it's like
You know what it's like
Yes, you do
You know you do
You know what it's like
Yes, you do, oh
I know, I know you know
You know what it's like
Yes, you do
You know you do
You know what it's like
Yes, you do
I know, I know you know
