I saw you there, just standing there And I thought I was only dreaming yeah I kissed you then, then once again You said you would come and dance with me Dance with me across the sea And we could feel the motion of a thousand dreams Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling? Ships at night give such delight We all leave before the morning light Please don't go no please don't go Cause I don't want to stay here on my own Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling? Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling? Fever breathe your love on me (breathe your love) Take away my name (take away) Fever lay your hands on me (breathe your love) Never be the same Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling? Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling? Come with me and make believe We can travel to eternity
