Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walkin' in the dark, seein' lovers do their thing, ooh
That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true, oh baby
When you talk to me, when you're moanin' sweet and low
When you're touchin' me and my feelin's start to show, ooh
That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true, oh baby
In a restaurant, holdin' hands by candlelight
While I'm touchin' you, wanting you with all my might, ooh
That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true, oh baby
Strollin' in the park, watching winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark, seein' lovers do their thing, ooh
That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true, oh baby

Hey, I distinctly hear Will Downing on this instead of Peabo. I’ve listened to both extensively and can recognize their voices within the first notes.
