As Far As This Feeling Will Take Us
David Allan Coe · Other Songs - David Allan Coe
You're layin' here with me we're holding each other
it feels good so it must be right
You've touched me into thinking this could go on forever
I don't care if forever is just for tonight
Let's go as far as this feeling will take us we've
never been there together before
Let's go as far as this feeling will take us
And I've got a feeling we'll come back for more
I'm like a forest and you're like a wildfire that's spreading all over me
Baby come with me let's go to heaven
At moments like this girl that's where we should be
Let's go as far as this feeling...
For that kind of feeling we'll come back for me
