Loving You
Greg Pearle & John Illsley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at your life.
Doesn't it feel good.
You in my life.
And now it feels good.
Sunshine today.
I feel a heatwave.
Loving you.
And loving you
Is what I need to do.

You and my child.
We are children.
Destiny tied.
Tied you to me now.
I believe you.
You believed in me.
Loving you.
And loving you.
Is what I need to do.
Loving you is what I believe.

Wasn't it colder.
Colder than December.
Wasn't it colder.
Colder than December.

Look at your life
Doesn't it feel good.
Sunshine today.
I feel a heatwave.
Loving you.




And loving you
Is what I need to do.
