Slowly
Stacey Earl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As the sun is rising we'd come back to earth
I'm gonna leave your lovin' and it's gonna hurt
So glad I got you I don't wanna let you go
These precious moments are what life's about
If you didn't know that already one kiss will ease your doubt
No need to hurry 'cos I'm right here next to you
And whatever we do
Let's do it slowly and take our time
And do it slowly and let our love unwind
As if we only got tonight
And whatever we do, let's do it slowly

And in the morning when we hear the clock
You're touching me so deeply I don't want you to stop
I wanna hold you but I'll have to let you go
Only I'll be running like the worlds on fire
Only thing that's burning baby is my desire
I'm gonna hurry just to get back here with you
And whatever we do

I'm gonna do it slowly and take our time
And do it slowly and let our love unwind
As if we only got tonight
And whatever we do, let's do it slowly
Slowly... Slowly...

'Cause when I'm by your side with your heartbeat on mine
I know a friendly one can make our time stand still, we will...

Slowly and take our time
And do it slowly and let our love unwind
As if we only got tonight, and whatever we do




I wanna do it slowly and take our time, and do it slowly
As if we only got tonight, so whatever we do
