“When You Kiss Me”
YeahThis could be it, I think I’m in love
It’s love this time
It just seems to fit, I think I’m in love
This love is mineI can see you with me when I’m older
All the lonely nights are finally over
You took the weight of the world off my shoulders
(The world just goes away)Oh, when you kiss me (When you kiss me)
I know you miss me (I know you miss me)
And when you’re with me
The world just goes away
The way you hold me (The way you kiss me)
The way you show me (I know you miss me)
That you adore me
Oh, when you kiss me
Oh, yeahYou are the one, I think I’m in love
Life has begun (I think I’m in love)I can see the two of us together

All the lonely nights are finally over
You took the weight of the world off my shoulders
