Desire

Desire

From the first day I saw you From the first day I saw you
To the last time we met To the last time we met
I've desired to hold you I've desired to hold you
Have you and make you mine Have you and make you mine
  
But to have and to hold But to have and to hold
To love and to grow To love and to grow
It takes two hearts that beat It takes two hearts that beat
To the rhythm of one To the rhythm of one
  
When you push me away When you push me away
I taste fear and pain I taste fear and pain
Turns my fire to smoke Turns my fire to smoke
With one word, with one stroke With one word, with one stroke
  
Deep in my heart is desire to love Deep in my heart is desire to love
Deep in my soul is desire to grow Deep in my soul is desire to grow
Deep in your smile is desire for more Deep in your smile is desire for more
Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed
  
Let me live, let me die Let me live, let me die
Let me laugh, let me cry Let me laugh, let me cry
Let me burn in your fire Let me burn in your fire
In flames of desire In flames of desire
  
Be my river of hope Be my river of hope
My mountain of truth My mountain of truth
Let me colour your life Let me colour your life
With the colour of love With the colour of love
  
Deep in my heart is desire to love Deep in my heart is desire to love
Deep in my soul is desire to grow Deep in my soul is desire to grow
Deep in your smile is desire for more Deep in your smile is desire for more
Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed
  
Dejjem ridtek I've always wanted you
Dejjem xtaqtek I've always desired you
Lilek ћabbejt You're the one I've always loved
  
Take me up, take me down Take me up, take me down
Take me into your arms Take me into your arms
Spin the magic of love Spin the magic of love
With one word, with one smile With one word, with one smile
  
My desire runs deep My desire runs deep
And I'm losing sleep And I'm losing sleep
I wake up to the light I wake up to the light
You're the key to my heart You're the key to my heart
  
Deep in my heart is desire to love Deep in my heart is desire to love
Deep in my soul is desire to grow Deep in my soul is desire to grow
Deep in your smile is desire for more Deep in your smile is desire for more
Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed
  
(Deep in my heart is desire to love) (Deep in my heart is desire to love)
Deep in my soul Deep in my soul
(Deep in my soul is desire to grow) (Deep in my soul is desire to grow)
Deep in your smile is desire for more Deep in your smile is desire for more
Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed
  
Desire, desire, desire, desire love Desire, desire, desire, desire love
