Standing here alone with you Wondering what it is that I'm supposed to do And there you are with the love light in your eye The bridges are burnt down Your arms are open wide Am I in too deep or should I swim to the shore Is this the real thing? I don't know but I've never been here before And I feel a thunder in my heart that I can't control I feel a thunder in my heart Should I walk away or follow my soul? I feel a thunder in my heart Where it comes from I just don't know Oh no, oh no There's a storm ragin' deep in my soul There's a howlin' wind that I just can't control There'sa fire inside me I can't explain Every time you touch me my love falls like rain I've only known you for an hour or more The time is standin' still Your love has opened up the door I feel a thunder in my heart It takes my breath away I feel a thunder in my heart Will I ever be the same? I feel a thunder in my heart It's telling me you're here to stay Oh no, oh no There's a thunder in my heart There's a thunder in my heart There's a thunder in my heart There's a thunder in my heart Take me baby I'm all yours Do just what you wanna do with my love Let's not let the night overtake us 'Cause what's happening right now may make or break us Do you feel the way I do? Open up your heart now baby I'm comin' through I feel a thunder in my heart Takin' my breath away I feel a thunder in my heart Since I met you I'll never be the same I feel a thunder in my heart I know you're here to stay I feel a thunder in my heart Takin' my breath away I feel a thunder in my heart Since I met you I'll never be the same I feel a thunder in my heart I know you're here to stay
