Lyrics

I’m gon na do it, dar lin’.

I could waste time try’n’ to fig ure it out,

but I’m jump in’ an y how.

Strong er I’ve nev er been this far;

did n’t know love could run so deep,

did n’t know I’d lose this much sleep.

Hold in’ you close, chas in’ that moon, spend in’ all night lov (Dbsus2)in’ just who you are.

Sparks fly’n’ in the dark.

Shoot in’ out lights, run nin’ down dreams,

(Bbm7)fig ur in’ out what love real ly means;

ba by, (Eb)giv in’ you my heart.

It’s a (Dbsus2)real fine place to start.

Some thin’ is go in’ on; lin’.

I can’t ex plain, but to sure ure can touch.

but It’s call in’ both of us.

Strong er than an y fear or doubt,

it’s chang in’ ev ’ry thing I see.

It’s chang in’ you, it’s chang in’

me.

Hold in’ you close, chas in’ that moon, spend in’ all night lov (Dbsus2)in’ just who you are.

Sparks fly’n’ in the dark.

Shoot in’ out lights, run nin’ down dreams,

(Bbm7)fig ur in’ out what love real ly means;

ba by, (Eb)giv in’ you my heart.

It’s a (Dbsus2)real fine place to start.

fine place to start.

Right here, right now’s the per fect (Ab)spot, the per fect (Db)time,

the per fect mo ment when your (Bbm7)skin

is (Dbsus2)next

to mine.

Yeah,

yeah.

Hold fine place, a real fine place to start.
