Love meeting love
Ooh summer nights - making love
Together we`re as one - in love`s light
We have found our way - through another day
So tonight we`ll stay
Drunk on loves sweet wine
Heaven yours and mine
Love meeting love sweet lady
Take my soul

And lead me to this place - in the night
Hold me in your arms - and take me in
And we`ll start again
The flame to the fire - suffering our desire
Love meeting love yeah yeah

(interlude)
And floating - lost in love
Your body soft and warm - next to mine
Time is standing still - for you and me 
So silently
Talking with our eyes - knowing no goodbyes
Love meeting love yeah yeah
