You're not meant to be alone
I'll share your dream
I'll show you love
you've never known
Two flames together
in the deep of the night
I'm up in your love.
Close by you when you
call
I'll take my stand
One chance to make or
lost it all
This time my journey
to wherever you are
I sail on your river
so far my love we'll never be found
If you believe.
We got eyes that see
in the dark
And the power of love
lives for making you mine
And in the light of
close investigation
Is it only my
imagination
I got you.
Moonlight shining on
your face
My bridges burned
With all my tears
that you replaced
Two hearts together
is a beautiful sight
I'll take you to
heaven so far my love will follow you there
If we believe.
We got eyes that see
in the dark
And the power of love
lives for making you mine
Am I the light of
someone you need more of
Let me be that love
you can be sure of
Is it only my
imagination
I got you.
Like the eagle that
flies in the sun
I'll be lost in your
fire before we are done
And the view from my
window is brighter
Born to be all you
need.
We got eyes that see
in the dark
And the power of love
lives for making you mine
Am I the light of
someone you need more of
Let me be that love
you can be sure of
Is it only my
imagination
I got you...
