If you were born in heaven girlI'd understand so wellBut ever since I've met you childYou've made my life such hellWith every day that passesI fall nearer to the groundIt seems that I've been looking forSomething that won't be foundI was only DreamingI was only trying to catch your eyeI was only wishing you would notice meInstead you said goodbyeCould this be the new answer thenTo all the dreams we've madeCould there be some solution pleaseTo rid me of this graceBut every single second that you held me in your armsYou build me upYou raise me upYou kill me with your charmsRefrainWould you stay with me tonightWon't you make these feelings lastCan we start this all againWould that be just to much to askRefrain
