Let's make this a night, we won't forget.

Reach out to a fantasy;

Two hearts, in the beat of ecstasy; come to me, girl...

And I will keep you warm, through the shadows of the night,
Let me touch you with my love; I can make you feel so right.
And baby, through the years; even when we're old and grey;)
I will love you, more each day, 'cos you will always be the lady in my life.
