Lyrics
There you are Looking just the same as you did last time I touched you And here I am Close to getting tangled up inside the thought of you
Do you love him as much as I love her? And will that love be strong? When old feelings start to stir
Looks like we made it Left each other on the way to another love Looks like we made it Or I thought so ’til today Until you were there, everywhere And all I could taste was love the way we made it
Love’s so strange Playing hide and seek with hearts and always hurting And we’re the fools Standing close enough to touch those burning memories
And if I hold you for the sake of all those times Love made us lose our minds Could I ever let you go?
Oh, no we made it Left each other on the way to another love Looks like we made it Or I thought so ’til today Until you were there, everywhere And all I could taste was love the way we made it Oh, we made it
Looks like we made it Left each other on the way to another love Looks like we made it Or I thought so ’til today Until you were there everywhere And all I could taste was love the way we made it
