Oh darlin', could you love me tonight?
Oh darlin', let me hold you tight
Starlight, star bright
Could you love me, tonight?
Could you love me? Could you love me?
Could you love me tonight?

Love is a symphony, hearts in one melody
We are just like a song in perfect harmony
I see you every night in my dreams
All I need is your love, all I need is you, baby

Oh darlin', could you love me tonight?
Oh darlin', let me hold you tight
Starlight, star bright
Could you love me, tonight?
Could you love me? Could you love me?
Could you love me tonight?

Your smiling face is, on earth like a star
I can't tell you how much precious you are
It's so sweet, I'm here to say, I love you more each day
Just between us there is a feeling, baby

Oh darlin', could you love me tonight?
Oh darlin', let me hold you tight
Starlight, star bright
Could you love me, tonight?
Could you love me? Could you love me?
Could you love me tonight?

I just love the way you are
Make it last forever
I just love the way you are
You and me together

I just love the way you are
Oh, in a stormy weather
I just love the way you are
You are, you are

You and me gonna make love to one another
You and me gonna make love to each other
You and me gonna make love to one another
Me and you gonna make love to each other

You and me gonna make love to one another
Me and you gonna make love to each other
You and me gonna make love to one another
I need you so

Oh darlin', could you love me tonight?
Oh darlin', let me hold you tight
Starlight, star bright
Could you love me, tonight?
Could you love me? Could you love me?
Could you love me tonight?

Oh darlin', could you love me tonight?
Oh darlin', let me hold you tight
Starlight, star bright
Could you love me, tonight?
Could you love me? Could you love me?
Could you love me tonight?

Could you love me? Could you love me?
Could you love me? Could you love me?
Could you love me?

Oh darlin', could you love me tonight?
Oh darlin', let me hold you tight
Starlight, star bright
Could you love me, tonight?
Could you love me? Could you love me?
Could you love me tonight?
Take me higher

Make me wanna fly away with you, baby




Make me wanna fly so high with you, girl
