Peo ple fall in love in mys ter i ous ways,

Well, me, I fall in love with you ev ’ry sin gle day,

and I just wan na tell you I am.

So hon ey, now,

kiss me un der the light of a thou sand stars.

Place your head on my beat ing heart.

I’m think ing out

loud, may be we found love right where we are.

Ba by, we found love right where we are.
