Les Paroles :
This is it, here I stand I’m the light of the world, I feel grand Got this love I can feel And I know yes for sure it is real
And it feels as though I’ve seen your face a thousand times And you said you really know me too yourself And I know that you have got addicted with your eyes But you say you gonna live it for yourself.
I never heard a single word about you Falling in love wasn’t my plan I never thought that I would be your lover C’mon baby, just understand
This is it, I can say, I’m the light of the world, run away We can feel, this is real Every time I’m in love that I feel
And I feel as though I’ve known you since 1,000 years And you tell me that you’ve seen my face before. And you said to me you don’t want me hanging round Many times, wanna do it here before
I never heard a single word about you Falling in love wasn’t my plan I never thought that I would be your lover C’mon baby, just understand
This is it, I can feel I’m the light of the world, this is real Feel my song, we can say And I tell you I feel that way
And I feel as though I’ve known you for a thousand years And you said you want some of this yourself And you said won’t you go with me, on a while And I know that it’s really cool myself
I never heard a single word about you Falling in love wasn’t my plan I never thought that I would be your lover C’mon baby, just understand
I never heard a single word about you Falling in love wasn’t my plan I never thought that I would be your lover C’mon baby, just understand
