Rapture
BAKER Anita Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When we met, I always knew
I would feel the magic for you
On my mind constantly
In my arms is where you should be

I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly free
I want you in my life for all time

I'm caught up in the rapture of love
Nothing else can compare
When I feel the magic of you, I'm

We stand side by side
'Til the storms of life pass us by
Light my life, warm my heart
Say tonight will be just a start

I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly free
I want you in my life for all time

I'm caught up in the rapture of love
Nothing else can compare
When I feel the magic of you
The feeling's always new
Caught up in the rapture of you, I'm

I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly free
I want you in my life for all time





I'm caught up in the rapture of love, I'm
