Pleasant Ballad
Ed McCurdy Lyrics
When we kiss my heart on fire
Burning with a strange desire
And I know each time I kiss you
That your hearts on fire too
So my darling please surrender (surrender)
All your love so warm and tender (surrender)
Let me hold you in my arms dear
While the moon shines bright gold
All the stars will tell the story (ah)
Of our love and all its glory (ah)
Let us take this night of magic (ah)
And make it a night of love (ah)
Won't you please surrender to me (surrender)
Your lips, your arms, your heart dear (surrender)
Be mine forever
Be mine and I
Burning with a strange desire
And I know each time I kiss you
That your hearts on fire too
So my darling please surrender (surrender)
All your love so warm and tender (surrender)
Let me hold you in my arms dear
While the moon shines bright gold
All the stars will tell the story (ah)
Of our love and all its glory (ah)
And make it a night of love (ah)
Won't you please surrender to me (surrender)
Your lips, your arms, your heart dear (surrender)
Be mine forever
Be mine and I
