Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ooh baby
When you hold me
Yeah, when you hold me
The sound
[Verse 2]
Is it possible I could feel this cool?
I could really love you the way I do
Is it possible I could feel this good?
I could really love you the way I do
[Verse 3]
See me flowin' like a river to the sea (Within the light, take me to you)
You come down, you cover (In the light, pull me to you)
And the waves rush over me
[Verse 4]
I feel a lovelight rush over me
I feel the love turn to me
And then your love just creeps over me
Over me
[Verse 5]
See me flowin' like a river to the sea (Within the light, take me to you)
You come down, you cover (In the light, pull me to you)
And the waves rush over me
[Verse 6]
Ooh baby
When you hold me
Yeah, when you hold me
The sound
[Verse 7]
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
[Verse 8]
Take up your love, take up your love, take up your love and come to me
This love's not a liar, too cold, it's a fire, I'm on the run
And it's a comfort to me
I won't let you go
[Verse 9]
Take up your love, take up your love, take up your love and come to me
This love's not a liar, too cold, it's a fire, I'm on the run
And it's a comfort to me
[Verse 10]
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
