When you get right down to it
Isn't this moment what it's all about girl ?
When you get right down to it
Don't you just feel that this moment says everything ?
Holding you.
Touching you
Girl I need a whole lifetime to do all the things,
that I want to do, for you
When you get right down to it
Doesn't this moment wash away the bad times ?
When you get right down to it, doesn't all
the hurt you ever felt disappear ?
Holding you.
Touching you
Girl I know that this magic just can't last forever
But then when you get down to it don't you want
to relive this moment once again ?
Holding you.
Touching you
Girl I know that this magic just can't last forever
But then when you get right down to it
Don't you want to relive this moment
Once again, and again, and again...
