Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every now and then
When the world steps in
Stealin' all our time
Away
[Verse 2]
It soon take so much
We forget to touch
That's when I know it's time for me
To say
[Verse 3]
Take my hand, let's walk through love's door
And be free from the world once more
Here's my arms, we can hide today
And love the world away
[Verse 4]
Once again we'll be
Where our hearts are free
And the time is ours
To share
[Verse 5]
Love will always stay
Just a touch away
Come with me
All the magic's waiting there
[Verse 6]
Take my hand, let's walk through love's door
And be free from the world once more
Here's my arms, we can hide today
And love the world away
[Verse 7]
We can love the world
Away
