Baby. just turns me on
So inviting to me
You know I feel that
They're my home
(Darling, reach out just for me)
And I, I had you so sense of pride
Your touch from behind
On the shoulder's so tender
(The deepness of your eyes)
I can't stop loving you, baby
(The deepness of your eyes)
I feel the loving all the time
(The deepness of your eyes)
The wheel of fading fortune's standing
For a long, long, long day, yeah
People say that the eyes
Tell stories and they mirror the soul
Tell me, do we reflect
The sameness of one
The unity to have and to hold
(Darling, reach out just for me)
I been locked up in quite seclusion
Only you can say if this is
Love or just an illusion
(The deepness of your eyes)
I can't stop loving you, baby
(The deepness of your eyes)
I feel the loving all the time
(The deepness of your eyes)
The wheel of fading fortune's standing
For a long, long, long day, yeah
