Your love Love is all around me Everywhere Love has come to touch my soul With someone who really cares No one can deny us People who once passed me by Will turn their heads I'm happy just to be with you And lovin' you the way I do Is everything I need to know Just restin' in the afterglow (of your fire/love) You Yes, you have always been here A feelin' deep inside A feelin' that I could not see Or touch, or try to hide My love is in and without you I bless the day that I found you So listen baby I'm happy just to be with you Love is like a voice in my head Keeps turning out (all) the things that we said
