Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thinkin' back in time, when love was only in the mind
I realize
Ain't no second chance, you got to hold on to romance
Don't let it slide
[Verse 2]
There's a special kind of magic in the air
When you find another heart that needs to share
[Verse 3]
Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be, and I'm oh, so glad I found you
Need you everyday, gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay, 'cause I can't go back to livin' without you
[Verse 4]
Spendin' every dime to keep you talkin' on the line
That's how it was
And all those walks together, out in any kind of weather
Just because
[Verse 5]
There's a brand new way of lookin' at your life
When you know that love is standin' by your side
[Verse 6]
Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be, and I'm oh, so glad I found you
Need you everyday, gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay, 'cause I can't go back to livin' without you
[Verse 7]
The night can be cold
There's a chill to every evening when you're all alone
Don't talk anymore
'Cause you know that I'll be here to keep you warm
(Oh, come and keep me warm)
[Verse 8]
Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
(Come to me, my love)
This was meant to be, and I'm oh, so glad I found you
(Oh, so glad I found you)
Need you everyday, gotta have your love around me
(Everyday, I gotta have you)
Baby, always stay, 'cause I can't go back to livin' without you
[Verse 9]
Come to me, let me put my arms around you
(Let me put my arms around you)
This was meant to be, and I'm oh, so glad I found you
(Hey, I need you everyday, baby)
Need you everyday, gotta have your love around me
(Gotta have, oh, I want you to stay)
Baby, always stay, 'cause I can't go back to livin' without you
[Verse 10]
Come to me, let me put my arms around you
(Come to me, like me, love me, baby, yeah)
This was meant to be, and I'm oh, so glad I found you
(Glad that I found you)
Need you everyday, gotta have your love around me
(Gotta have your love around)
Baby, always stay (Always stay, I can't go back to livin' without you)
