Let me show you what I'm feeling
What's going on inside of me
Don't you know you have changed me?
Don't you know my wishes all came true?
You're my angel
Now I wanna do it all for you
Nothing is impossible
Right here, right now
I'm riding on a miracle
I see you face, I feel your love
And there's nothing I can do
Right here, right now
My heart
My heart belongs to you
It feels like yesterday to me
When you passed outside my window
How your vision caught my eye
Like you've known me forever
Something made you turn and look at me
In a heartbeat I knew my destiny
Right here, right now
Nothing is impossible
Right here, right now
I'm riding on a miracle
I see you face, I feel your love
And there's nothing I can do
Right here, right now
My heart
My heart belongs to you
Oh
Oh, right here, right now
Nothing is impossible
Right here, right now
I'm riding on a miracle
I see you face, I feel your love
And there's nothing I can do
Right here, right now
My heart
My heart belongs to you
Oh, to you
I see you face, I feel your love
And there's nothing I can do
Right here, right now
My heart
My heart belongs to you

Dankie dankie dankie Elvis Blue. Jy laat 'n ou tannie se hart so teer raak met hierdie liedjie. Ou herinneringe en verlanges en drove her leef weer. Ek sit in die maanlig buite en luister. Dankie my kind. Hannah x
