Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where you are that's where I want to be
And through your eyes all the things I want to see
And in the night you are my dream
You're everything to me

You're the love of my life
And the breath in my prayers
Take my hand lead me there
What I need is you here

I can't forget the taste of your mouth
From your lips the heavens pour out
I can't forget when we are one
With you alone I am free

Everyday every night, you alone
You're the love of my life
Everyday, every night, you alone,
You're the love of my life

We go dancing in the moonlight
With the starlight in your eyes




We go dancing 'till the sunrise
You and me we're gonna dance, dance, dance

Where you are, that's where I wanna be 
And through your eyes, all the things I wanna see 
And in the night, you are my dream 
You're everything to me 
You're the love of my life 
And the breath in my prayers 
Take my hand, lead me there 
I can't forget the taste of your mouth 
From your lips the heavens pour out 
I can't forget when we are one 
With you alone I am free 
Everyday, every night, you alone 
You're the love of my life 
Everyday, every night, you alone, 
You're the love of my life 
We go dancing in the moonlight 
With the starlight in your eyes 
We go dancing till the sunrise 
You and me we're gonna dance, dance, dance

And through your eyes,
All the things I wanna see
And in the night, you are my dream
You're everything
To me

You're the love
Of my life
And the breath in my prayers

From your lips the heavens pour out

My dad used to play this in his car when I was 7-8... Always listened to it on my way to school back in the day! Now that I’ve found it after 10 years, it brings back a ton of memories. When life was sooo simple :-)
