Shadows falling, baby, we stand alone Out on the street anybody you meet got a heartache of their own (It oughta be illegal) Make it a crime to be lonely or sad (It oughta be illegal) You got a reason for livin' You battle on with the love you're livin' on
You gotta be mine We take it away It's gotta be night and day Just a matter of time
And we got nothing to be guilty of Our love will climb any mountain near or far, we are And we never let it end We are devotion And we got nothing to be sorry for Our love is one in a million Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky I don't wanna hear your goodbye
Bye Ooh…
Pulse's racing, darling How grand we are Little by little we meet in the middle There's danger in the dark (It oughta be illegal) Make it a crime to be out in the cold (It oughta be illegal) And you got a reason for livin' you battle on With the love you're buildin' on
You gotta be mine We take it away It's gotta be night and day Just a matter of time
And we got nothing to be guilty of Our love will climb any mountain near or far, we are And we never let it end We are devotion And we got nothing to be sorry for Our love is one in a million Eyes can see (eyes can see that we) that we (that we) Got a highway to the sky I don't wanna hear your goodbye Don't wanna hear your goodbye I don't wanna hear your
