Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I thirst but never quench
I know the consequence, feeling as I do
We're in a spinning top
Where, tell me, will it stop?
And what am I to say?
Open our music book
That only few can look
And I'll write a song for you
[Verse 2]
Love is a symphony, hearts in one melody
'Cause I'll write a song for you
Sounds never dissipate, they only recreate
In another place
Theirs in your silent night
Joy of a song's delight
'Cause I'll write a song for you, you'll write a song for me
We'll write a song of love, of love
[Verse 3]
My magical mystique
Finding it all complete
In your lovely face
Feelings we try to chase
Memories that won't erase
Stay forever new
We have a magic box
In which is never locked
'Cause I'll write a song for you, you'll write a song for me
We'll write a song of love, of love, yeah
[Chorus]
We write a song of love, my baby
Write a song of love
[Verse 4]
You, for you, you
For you, you, you
[Chorus]
We have a magic box
We write a song of love
We write, write a song of love
[Verse 5]
Sounds, they never dissipate
They only recreate
To another place or time
[Chorus]
We write a song, we write a song
Just you and me, baby
[Outro]
We're, we're on a spinning top
We write a song, we write a song, we write a song
