The whispers in the morning 
Of lovers sleeping tight 
Are rolling by like thunder now 
As I look in your eyes 

I hold on to your body 
And feel each move you make 
Your voice is warm and tender 
A love that I could not forsake 

'Cause I'm your lady 
And you are my man 
Whenever you reach for me 
I'll do all that I can 

Even though there may be times 
It seems I'm far away 
Well, never wonder where I am 
'Cause I am always by your side

'Cause I'm your lady 
And you are my man 
Whenever you reach for me 
I'll do all that I can 

We're heading for something 
Somewhere I've never been 
Sometimes I am frightened 
But I'm ready to learn 
Of the power of love 

The sound of your heart beating 
Made it clear suddenly 
The feeling that I can't go on 
Is light years away 

'Cause I'm your lady 
And you are my man 
Whenever you reach for me 
I'm gonna do all that I can 

We're heading for something 
Somewhere I've never been 
Sometimes I am frightened 
But I'm ready to learn 
Of the power of love 
Ooh, the power of love
