Time was never on our side 
beauty reaches for the light 
from the shadow of your smile 
into my heart 
There’s a flower in my field you know 
holding love up like a shield 
now I know we have it sealed 
here in my heart 

Every night I turn the lights down slowly 
and watch you in your afterglow 

I wanna get close to you 
tell me you want me to 
what can I do? 
I need you now 
and I want you now 
in my life 

Where the stream begins to flow 
a life of love that springs we know 
from every word 
into my soul 

Treasure buried deep inside 
turns the hands of love way back in time 
leaving all the past behind 
can we let it go? 

Every night I turn the lights down slowly 
and watch you in your afterglow 

I wanna get close to you 
tell me you want me to 
what can I do? 
I need you now 
and I want you now 
in my life 

We've been holding on 
but things have changed 
the fear is gone 
we've turned the page 
in the book of love 

And to know this love 
is to feel it all 
from high above 
to feel the glow 
of your love 
my love 

I wanna get close to you 
tell me you want me to 
what can I do? 
I need you now 
and I want you now 
in my life 

I wanna get close to you 
tell me you want me too 
I wanna get close to you 
I wanna get close to you
