O Solo Mio
Billy Vaughn · Theme From A Summer Place/sundowners [2006]
Kiss me my darling, be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late, it's now or never
My love won't wait.
When I first saw you with your smile so tender
My heart was captured, my soul surrendered
I've spent a lifetime waiting for the right time
Now that you're near the time is here at last.
It's now or never, come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling, be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late, it's now or never
My love won't wait.
Just like a willow, we would cry an ocean
If we lost true love and sweet devotion
Your lips excite me, let your arms invite me
For who knows when we'll meet again this way
It's now or never, come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling, be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late, it's now or never
My love won't wait.
It's now or never my love won't wait.
It's now or never my love won't wait.
It's now or never my love won't wait.
