Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, love's got a hold on me and it won't let go
Because it is the real thing, babe, and I just wanna let you know
That I love you all the way
More and more each day
And I love to hear you say, yeah, say it, babe
[Verse 2]
Love's got a hold on me too
And I know it's true
I get that funny feelin' just from bein' close to you
When I listen to your heartbeat
Not another sound so sweet
Would you please hold my hand?
[Verse 3]
And we'll climb the highest mountain
Sail the seven seas
And nobody's there with us
At the top of the world
In love and runnin' free
[Verse 4]
Now, baby, I'm on fire and it feels so good
To have this one desire like a sweet lovin' lover should
When I really got somebody to make love to
And I'll stay here forever with you
[Verse 5]
Well, I'll be right here beside you until the end
And let me kiss your eyes and cast away your trouble to the wind
And I love you for my life, let me take you for my wife
Could you please hold my hand?
[Verse 6]
And we'll climb the highest mountain
And we'll sail the seven seas
And nobody's there with us
At the top of the world
We were in love and runnin' a-free
[Verse 7]
I can see the love light shinin'
Like a rainbow in your eyes
Oh, like a rainbow in your eyes
(Listen to your heartbeat, listen to your heartbeat)
And I listen to your heart beatin', then I listen to your heart beatin'
(Listen to your heartbeat, listen to your heartbeat)
Then I listen to your heartbeat, won't you listen to your heartbeat?
(Listen to your heartbeat, listen to your heartbeat)
You should listen to your heart beatin', just listen to your heartbeat, ooh
(Listen to your heartbeat, listen to your heartbeat)
(Listen to your heartbeat, listen to your heartbeat)
(Listen to your heartbeat, listen to your heartbeat)
(Listen to your heartbeat, listen to your heartbeat)
Ooh, like a rainbow shinin' down on you and me
(Listen to your heartbeat, listen to your heartbeat)
Said listen to your heartbeat, yeah, go on and listen to your heartbeat
(Listen to your heartbeat, listen to your heartbeat)
Go on and listen to your heartbeat
(Listen to your heartbeat, listen to your heartbeat)
