Toast Of Love
The Three Degrees · 20 Greatest Hits [1999]
(Sheila Ferguson)
I come to you with offerings of love
I lift my heart to you
Let me lead then you'll uncover
All the wonderous worldly charms
That goes so long when undiscovered
In you and me (you and me)
Won't you let me set your soul free?
I drink a smooth, sweet toast of love to you
(Toast of love to you)
From my heart I give it so gladly
Take me, touch me, let your soul run free
This is my toast of love to you
Oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh
So many times I've dreamed it would be like this
With no walls to find you
Then makes the power of suggestion
With all the passion and expression
That my eyes feel free to give
Then lay with me (lay with me)
Won't you let me set your soul free?
I drink a smooth, sweet toast of love to you
(Toast of love to you)
From my heart I give it so gladly
Take me, please touch me, let your soul run free
This is my toast of love to you
A toast of love to you
I drink a smooth, sweet toast of love to you
(Toast of love to you)
From my heart I give it so gladly
(Take me) Take me, (touch me) touch me
Let your soul run free
This is my toast of love to you
A toast of love to you
A toast of love to you
Take me
Touch me
Take me, touch me, love me
Take me, touch me, love me
Take me, touch me, love me
Take me, touch me, love me
I come to you with offerings of love
I lift my heart to you
Let me lead then you'll uncover
All the wonderous worldly charms
That goes so long when undiscovered
In you and me (you and me)
Won't you let me set your soul free?
I drink a smooth, sweet toast of love to you
(Toast of love to you)
From my heart I give it so gladly
Take me, touch me, let your soul run free
This is my toast of love to you
Oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh
So many times I've dreamed it would be like this
With no walls to find you
Then makes the power of suggestion
With all the passion and expression
That my eyes feel free to give
Then lay with me (lay with me)
Won't you let me set your soul free?
I drink a smooth, sweet toast of love to you
(Toast of love to you)
From my heart I give it so gladly
Take me, please touch me, let your soul run free
This is my toast of love to you
A toast of love to you
I drink a smooth, sweet toast of love to you
(Toast of love to you)
From my heart I give it so gladly
(Take me) Take me, (touch me) touch me
Let your soul run free
This is my toast of love to you
A toast of love to you
A toast of love to you
Take me
Touch me
Take me, touch me, love me
Take me, touch me, love me
Take me, touch me, love me
Take me, touch me, love me
