Year: 2007 4:40 579 Views We've always been the best of friends No secrets and no demands But suddenly from somewhere out of the blue I see a different light around you One thing I haven't told you, I just want to hold you And never let you go, but I need to know How do I get there from here How do I make you see How do I tell you what my heart's been tellin' me Lost in your lovin' arms that's where I want to be You know I love you How do I get there You probably think I've lost my mind Takin' this chance and crossin' that line I promise to be truer than true Dreamin' every night with these arms around you I can't wait any longer it's only getting stronger So help me find a way How do I get there from here How do I make you see How do I tell you what my heart's been tellin' me Lost in your lovin' arms that's where I want to be You know I love you How do I get there The shortest distance between two points is a straight line But I'll climb any mountain that you want me to climb The perfect combination is your heart and mine Baby, give me a sign How do I get there from here How do I make you see How do I tell you what my heart's been tellin' me Lost in your lovin' arms that's where I want to be You know I love you How do I get there How do I get there from here How do I make you see How do I tell you what my heart's been tellin' me Lost in your lovin' arms that's where I want to be You know I love you How do I get there
