To Be Loved
Ronan Keating Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The joy in three little words
I know it's real, this is how it feels
To be loved by you
The stars from a midnight sky,
The melody from a lullaby
There's nothing real, that I wouldn't steal
To be loved by you
(chorus)
To be loved by you
If everybody knows, it's only ‘cause it shows
A smile to put you on a high,
A kiss that sets your soul alight
Would it be all right if I spent tonight
Being loved by you
(chorus)
So carry on carry my away from here
All my days ‘till the twilight of my life
I know what it is I need,
It's clear as a shallow stream
It's as it seems, my only dreams
To be loved by you
