Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead
Uh-huh, yeah
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night
What in this world keeps us from falling apart?
No matter where I go
I hear the beating of our one heart
I think about you when the night is cold and dark
Uh-huh, yeah
No one can move me the way that you do
Nothing erases this feeling between me and you, oh
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night
I taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night crept in your room
Is that alright?
I drove all night
I drove all night (I drove all night)
To get to you (to get to you)
Is that alright? (Is that alright?)
I drove all night (I drove all night)
Crept in your room (crept in your room)

@@GiuseppePompiliMondoRockBest All prayers from Righteous SOULS aka Born again Christians, have power.
Sinners prayers GOD hears not.
Unless we REPENT and born again and LIVE HOLY, GOD hears none of our prayers.
Prayers have power, but these must come from Changed hearts.

The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
