You're a work of art You're the Trevi Fountain You're a golden heart You're the highest mountain. You bring me flowers every day of my life You save me from the worry and the strife. Take me in your arms baby baby I'm on a winning streak When I met you I reached my peak. Your perfect view makes me feel brand-new yeah Well you're just right to keep me up all night up all night. Working all the time to make you mine all mine yeah Riding the love train stroke it up riding the love train. Lovin' all the time to keep you feeling fine yeah Riding the love train stroke it up riding the love train. You make time stand still Your children laughter love's overspill I'll come running after. You bring the spring right through my door You're everything that's worth living for. Thrill me with your charms baby baby baby me knees are weak I need you now don't play hide and seek. No times long enough leaving you is tough You're just right to keep me up all night up all night. Refrain Keep the flames burning let your spirit fly Stay on the right track baby till the day I die Keep the coal coming. Baby baby I'm on a winning streak When I met you I reached my peak. Your perfect view makes me feel brand-new yeah Well you're just right to keep me up all night up all night. Refrain (2x)
