Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Turn the lights down low, baby come close
Put your hand in mine, oh please be kind
Let me touch your heart, let the fire start
Oooo so warm, so warm

Soft music plays, please sit down & stay
Put your trust in me, let this love be
This is for real, let time stand still
Oooo so warm, so warm
Turn the lights down low, baby come close
Oooo so warm, so warm
(Low speaking voice): So warm, so warm

Oooo turn the lights down low, baby come close
Let dreams come true for me & you
We won't regret, we won't forget
Oooo so warm, so warm, yeah yeah
So warm, so warm
(Low speaking voice): so warm





Turn the lights down low, baby come close]

Ooo la la la
I did you wrong
my heart went out to play
But in the game, I lost you
What a price to pay,
I'm crying

Ooo, baby baby
Ooo, baby baby

Mistakes, I know I've made a few
But I'm only human
You've made mistakes too,
I'm crying

Ooo, baby baby
Ooo, baby baby

I'm just about at the end of my rope
But I can't stop trying, I can't give up hope
'Cause I feel that one day,
I'll hold you near
Whisper, I still love you
Until that day is here,
I'm crying

Ooo, baby baby
Ooo, baby baby
Ooo, baby baby
Ooo ooo ooo ooo, baby baby, ooo
