I always stayed away from love Afraid of what might might happen Till I thought I heard a sound above Singing through my very own heart Was a melody I'd never heard Like birds singing loud to the sky Never dreamed that true love would help me find my way Didn't know how deep I'd fallen Until you rescued you rescued me When suddenly strings began I heard the melody again and again and again The sound of music flowing through my head So rare, I'm walking on air Melody of love, sing that song for me yeah I want to hear somebody sing (Wanna be loved) Melody of love, take me away One lonely night you up and danced into my dreams Baby you set my heart on fire So I've been burning and burning ever since yeah When suddenly strings began I heard the melody again and again and again The sound of trumpets flowing through my head So rare, I'm walking on air Melody of love, sing that song for me yeah I want to hear somebody sing Melody of love, oh take me away Melody of love, set me free yeah I want to hear somebody sing Melody of love, oh take me away Melody of love Sing that song for me I want to hear somebody sing Melody of love Oh take me away yeah Melody of love Oh set me free yeah Somebody sing Melody of love Oh take me away Melody of love Sing that song for me I want to hear somebody sing Melody of love
