Take my heart to your hand
You think you can′t but I know you can
Swallow it whole like it 's a pill
Let it do the work that you know it will

An on a moonlight, all the time
That I′ve learned wrong, I told you why, you why
Feel for me babe, feel for me baby

Let me fill your soul like you fill mine
Let it beat it′s way til the end of time
Draw me close to your breast
Let us close our eyes and settle in
