Whirlwind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make me realize
You are the one love
That I'll adore
Tell me you love me
Tell me you're mine once more
A thousand stars in the skies
Like the stars in your eyes
That there'll never be
No other love
Like yours for me
Each night I count
The stars in the skies
Hoping that you are not telling me lies
You're with me tonight
I'm captured by your charms
Oh, pretty baby
Let me hold you in my arms
There's stars in the skies
like the stars in your eyes
They say to me
That there'll never be
no other love
like your love for me
Each night I count
The stars in the skies
Hoping that you're not telling me lies
You're with me tonight
I'm captured by your charms
Oh, pretty baby
Let me hold you in my arms
Oh there's stars in the skies

You are the wonder
That I'll adore
Tell me you love me
Tell me you're mine once more
Yes you're mine, you're mine
Yes you're mine once more
