A Million Ways
Tony Momrelle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time and time again
Try to ignore it and pretend
But you and I
Got something special going on

Though we've gone our different ways
Evidently nothing's changed
Cuz You and I

Got something so strong

Could it be that this is destiny
Is it just the summer sun
Imagination's got the best of me
When I think of you
Girl, I feel
That you're the only one

I see a million ways I know
That I could love you
A million reasons why
Gotta get this thing going on

I can't go another day without you
This is our moment
This is our time
Our summer love, love

So here we are
Playing underneath the stars
And the night is turning into morning, babe
Oh, let's just stay in this place
With not a second gone to waste
The stars are in light
For you and me girl

Hold you close within these arms of mine
Breathe you in like a summer dance
And kiss you softly, baby
Count this out

Who ever sees what we're doing
I don't really care

Cuz, I see a million ways I know
That I could love you
A million reasons why
Gotta get this thing going on

I can't go another day without you
This is our moment
This is our time
Our summer love, love

Nothing gets better than this
For its a never ending
It's my wish
To love you forever
Deep in my mind
I realize
I can love you a million ways, girl

I see a million ways I know
That I could love you
A million reasons why
Gotta get this thing going on

I can't go another day without you
This is our moment
This is our time
Summer love, love

A million ways I know
That I could love you, baby
This is our moment
This is our time
Summer love, love

A million ways I know
That I could love you, baby

I just wanna kiss you, babe
Run my fingers through your hair

Summer loving, girl
Million ways that I can love you, babe
