When the world was in upside down I could take all the time I had But I'm not gonna wait When a moment can vanish so fast Cause every kiss is a kiss you can never get back Lift me up in your arms If you told me that's where heaven is (Well, you'd be right) I've been waiting forever for this This is the night When the answer to all my dreams Is as close as a touch away Why am I here holding back what I'm trying to say Lift me up in your arms If you told me that is where heaven is (Well, you'd be right) Hold me close to your heart I will go with you to the end of the Earth (And we'll fly) I've been waiting forever for this This is the night This is the night where we capture forever And all out tomorrows begin After tonight we will never be lonely again Lift me up in your arms If you told me that is where heaven is (Well, you'd be right) Hold me close to your heart I would go with you to the end of the Earth (And we'll fly) I've been waiting forever for this This is the night
