Eric Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While Looking at the southern sky
I thought of you, of you and I
Whatever come what may
I'll always wear a smile
Our love goes on forever
As a special part of my life
My heart cries out
To the stars and the moon
To bring your sweet love back to me
Because I was born to love you
I want to share my life with you
I tell you this right now
It feels so good to love you like I do
And I pray to love you more
And now I have learned
It's the glow of your smile that reminds me
That I trust you and pray you trust me too
Give happiness a chance
You and I can share a love of loves
That will last eternally
You have taught me how to love
To share freedom and solitude
But above all you keep me warm
When I tremble in the night
You took me into your arms
And embraced me like you have never done before
I tell you this right now
If feels so good to love you like I do
And I pray to love you more every day
There were moments I confess
I believeI could fly away
Across the sky just I like a bird
If I had wings to fly
I'd fly directly to your heart
And I would ask you to follow, follow me
Promise on a star
While looking at the southern sky
Do it for you, for you and I
I tell you this right now
I show tears instead of a smile
All love is fair (our love is fair)
Our love is here (and it's here to stay)?
