Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
When the night is coming, dark is all around
You love is burning me
'Cause I will belong to you and how... babe
I miss you honey...

[Pre-Chorus]
Every sorrow... (is) leaving me now...till
The end of time I need you
I got something to show you... believe me
Guess you know my love... I won't be lonely

[Chorus]
I just wanna follow you higher & higher
How long it takes to love you again tonite
Hot emotion's taking you higher & higher
I don't wanna leave you right now my love
Everytime I follow you higher & higher
I see your eyes brightening for me tonite
Burning love is driving you higher & higher
We fly away... (it's) a special feeling

[Verse 2]
Every star is shining over us tonite
And heaven's waiting for you
Anytime you hold me sweetly... oh my love
You drive me crazy
