Can't we leave the world outside
Just for a while, just for a while?
And spend some time, you and I
Under this bright glorious sky

It's been so long since I first saw you
But I still love that smile in your eyes

Yes it's true, right from the start
I believed in the church of your heart
Yes it's you that made me be part of
And believe in the church of your heart

Step inside, lay yourself down
Just for a while, rest for a while
I can hear a thundering sound
Beating inside when you're around

It's been so long since I first met you
Since we made love, you know how time flies

Yes it's true, right from the start
I believed in the church of your heart
Yes it's you that made me be part of
And believe in the church of your heart
In the church of your heart

Yes it's true, right from the start
I believed in the church of your heart
Yes it's you that made me be part of
And believe in the church of your heart

Pretty baby it's true, right from the start
I believed in the church of your heart
Yes it's you that made me be part of
And believe in the church of your heart
In the church of your heart
