Forbidden Love
Anggun · Chrysalis [2000]
another new round
the moon is up high and here I go again
you gave me a sign
that your love is still mine
and I feel the fire burns inside of me
say it once more
say it for sure
I hear your heart is calling out my name
like a whisper
long and tender
make me alive inside your eyes again
How I wish I could try to run away from this power
the power of forbidden love
how I wish I could try to turn off the volume from these voices
the voices of forbidden love
how I wish I could close my eyes to all of these temptations
temptations...
You are captured
fall in rapture
I don't think my heart will ever let you go
for another love from other
'cause I can give everything you always dreamed
make me alive inside your eyes again
