Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I can see what's happening What And they don't have a clue Who They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line Our trio's down to two Oh The sweet caress of twilight There's magic everywhere And with all this romantic atmosphere Disaster's in the air Can you feel the love tonight The peace the evening brings The world for once in perfect harmony With all its living things So many things to tell her But how to make her see The truth about my past, impossible She'd turn away from me He's holding back, he's hiding But what, I can't decide Why won't he be the king I know he is? The king I see inside? Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings The world, for once, in perfect harmony With all its living things Can you feel the love tonight? You needn't look too far Stealing through the night's uncertainties Love is where they are And if he falls in love tonight It can be assumed His carefree days with us are history In short, our pal is doomed
