Eternal
[Intro]
I love you
I love you
And this is eternal, oh

[Verse 1]
It's love, true love
That brings my heart to you
Home to you girl, yeah
And it's the same
Deep feeling of love
That brings you close to, to me baby
Oh, but tonight I want my arms
And body wrapped all around you
All around you
For as close as we both are
So much closer we will be
Believe in me, yeah

[Chorus]
Here and now
I wanna take a lover's vow
I want you to come with me now
Let's make tonight the first night of a love eternal
Day and night
We'll have an everlasting life
I wanna feel it shining bright
Let's make tonight the first night of a love eternal
[Verse 2]
Here in this place our passions move
Move in slow motion
Oh, while the rest of the world
In real time passes by, rushes by
Oh, I expressly forbid
Any heartache to ever, ever, ever, ever
Come anywhere, anywhere, anywhere near you girl
Oh, we'll use our love as protection
You'll never, never, never, never
Never have to cry or dry your eyes

[Chorus]
Here and now
I wanna take a lover's vow
I want you to come with me now
Let's make tonight the first night of a love eternal
Day and night
We'll have an everlasting life
I wanna feel it shining bright
Let's make tonight the first night of a love eternal

Here and now
I wanna take a lover's vow
I want you to come with me now
Let's make tonight the first night of a love eternal
Day and night
We'll have an everlasting life
I wanna feel it shining bright
Let's make tonight the first night of a love eternal
[Guitar solo]

I'll dry your eyes girl, ooh

[Chorus]
Here and now
I wanna take a lover's vow
I want you to come with me now
Let's make tonight the first night of a love eternal
Day and night
We'll have an everlasting life
I wanna feel it shining bright
Let's make tonight the first night of a love eternal

Here and now
I wanna take a lover's vow
I want you to come with me now
Let's make tonight the first night of a love eternal
Day and night
We'll have an everlasting life
I wanna feel it shining bright
Let's make tonight the first night of a love eternal
