I'm In Love
Richard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love.

Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh! Is it any wonder
I'm in the mood for love?

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain we'll let it




But for tonight, forget it!
I'm in the mood for love

1982년 ..리차드 샌더스의 음악을 청소년시절에 즐겨듣던 때가 기억납니다 리처드 샌더스의 음악은 아름답고 사람의 마음을 따듯하게 합니다..
