Strollin' in the park, watching winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark, seein' lovers do their thing, ooh

That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true, oh baby

When you talk to me, when you're moanin' sweet and low
When you're touchin' me and my feelin's start to show, ooh

That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true, oh baby

In a restaurant, holdin' hands by candlelight
While I'm touchin' you, wanting you with all my might, ooh

That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true, oh baby

Strollin' in the park, watching winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark, seein' lovers do their thing, ooh

That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true, oh baby
