I'm in the mood for love Simply because you're near me. Funny, but when you're near me I'm in the mood for love. Heaven is in your eyes Bright as the stars we're under Oh! Is it any wonder I'm in the mood for love? Why stop to think of whether This little dream might fade? We've put our hearts together Now we are one, I'm not afraid! If there's a cloud above If it should rain we'll let it But for tonight, forget it! I'm in the mood for love
