You know it's funny, funny how time flies
As I watch days turn into years
You never know if it will last forever
You can only try to keep it new, whoa

Late around midnight
When you're holding me near
It feels so good to me
Feel like crying those tears

It's still a thrill, when you hold me
It's still a thrill, when you're loving me
Thrill, it's still a thrill

Your passion, your passion moves me
Like the ocean it runs so deep
I'm walking in this mile for you
Just to get the things you do

It feels like the first time
When we met
Your charms still overwhelms me
Tell me, how can it be? When we make love

It's still a thrill, when you hold me
It's still a thrill, when you're loving me
Thrill, it's still a thrill, thrill
Thrill, it's still a thrill, thrill

I've gone home now
Where are my keys?
