Lyrics
Come fly into my arms
Don’t let anyone lead you astray
Come and yield to my warmth
Let your passion guide you all the way
Heal me
And feel me
For we were always bound to happen
Sweetest
Complete us
For we were always bound to happen
Hear at long last my prayer
There is nothing left in our way
Leap daring through the air
Let a happy end close out this play
Heal me
And feel me
For we were always bound to happen
Sweetest
Complete us
For we were always bound to happen
Sweetest temptress
Spell of old
All our deepest dreams unfold
See me thrilled
Love instilled
We’ll see all our dreams fulfilled
Here, oh, in my arms
I still feel your tender warmth
Your scent lingers on my skin
To remind me of our sweetest sin
Here, oh, in my arms
I still feel your tender warmth
Your scent lingers on my skin
To remind me of our sweetest sin
