Rapture Lyrics

SWEET LOVE
With all my heart I love you, baby
Stay with me and you will see
My arms will hold you, baby
Never leave, 'cause I believe

CHORUS
I'm in love, sweet love
Hear me calling out your name, I feel no shame
I'm in love, sweet love
Don't you ever go away, it'll always be this way

Oh your heart has called me closer to you
I will be all that you need
Just trust in what we`re feeling
Never leave `cause baby, I believe

CHORUS
In this love, sweet love
Hear me calling out your name, I feel no shame
I'm in love, sweet love
Don't you ever go away, it'll always be this way

No stronger love in this world
Oh baby no, you`re my man, I`m your girl
I'll never go, wait and see, can't be wrong
Don't you know this where you belong

Sweet, sweet and lovely baby
Stay right here, never fear
I will be all that you need
Never leave, `cause baby, I believe

REPEAT CHORUS


YOU BRING ME JOY
You brimg me joy
When I'm down
Oh, so much joy
When I lose my way your love comes smiling on me

I saw your face
And them I knew
We would be friends
I was so afraid but your arms, they'd say `come to me'

So I'd say to you
"Can we talk for a while?"
You'd say "alright"
When you love me, I smile
I feel you hands and you feel mine
You bring me joy

You bring me joy
Don't go too far away
If I can't see your face, I will remember that smile

But can this be right
Or should we be friends
I get lonely sometimes and I'm mixed up again
'Cause you're the finest thing I've seen in all my life
You bring me joy

My joy, my joy
I believe this is gonna be what you want it to be
I just love you, I just love you, can`t you see
That you're the best I've seen in all my life
You bring me joy

My joy . . . you're my joy
My joy . . . my, my joy

Thank you, baby, thank you, baby
I just love you, baby
When I lose my way, your love comes smiling on me


CAUGHT UP IN THE RAPTURE
When we met, I always knew
I would feed the magic for you
On my mind constantly
In my arms is where you should be

I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly free
I want you in my life for all time

CHORUS:
Caught up in the repture of love
Nothing else can compare
When I feel the magic of you

We stand side by side
Till the storms of life pass us by
Light my life, warm my heart
Say tonight will be just the start

I love you here by me, baby
you let my love fly free
I want you im my life for all time

CHORUS
Caught up in the rapture of love
Nothing else can compare
When I feel the magic of you
The feeling's always new
Caught up in the rapture of you

I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly free
I want you in my life for all time

REPEAT SECOND CHORUS

Caught up in the rapture of love
Caught up in the rapture of love


BEEN SO LONG
I won't be neglected
I won't be denied
The pleasure of your kissed
The pleasure of your smile

I think you take for granted
I'll always be here
Just because I love you
It doesn't mean I won't disappear

CHORUS
Been so long . . . of missin' you, baby
Been so long . . . of missin' you, baby

Thoughts and mellow memories
Of once upon a time
Slowly creepin' on me
And they linger on my mind

Just let somebody love you
I just don't know why
Whenever I get close to you
You want to run and hide

CHORUS
It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby
It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby
It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby
It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby

We began lovers' dance
The road was smooth to romance
And we sang love sweet song every day

I believe that love would stay in my heart
Now it's torn all apart
It's gone away, I can't stay, I've got to say
I don`t believe that you could do me this way

Now don't you understand
I'm in need of comfort
The comfort of your hand in mine
And what I feel inside
Why don't you come closer
I can't hide

Been so long
Been so long . . . can't hide
Been so long
Been so long . . . it's too long, won't you come on, baby
Been so long . . . won't you come home, see about me
see about me

Been so long


MYSTERY
Turning back the hands of time
Holding on to misty memories
Chasing shadows throught the night
Trying to find my happy ending

Reaching out for another chance at heaven
We could still find a way if we try


CHORUS
Baby, believe in the myster
Like it used to be
We were more than lonely drifters in the dark
I can remember the sun inside
Love held us tight
I need to feel your magic in my heart
Instead of it tearing apart

Diamonds shining in the night
Lying soft and warm together
Only images survive
Can't my dreams go on forever

Oh there's still time to lock away your sadness
Let the secrets of love start to smile

CHORUS
Baby believe in the mystery
Like it used to be
Baby bring back all the passion to my heart
I can remember the tender days, all the love we made
Can't you see in me your magic here tonight

Lonely spirits seem to whisper in the wind
It's a silent song that's never meant to be
Since the dawn of time the mystery never ends
We could find forever if we let love rise again

Tell me shy can't we reach for another chance at heaven
We can still find the way if you try

CHORUS
Baby believe in the mystery
Like it used to be
Baby bring back all the passion to my heart
I can remember the tender days, all the love we made
I need to feel your magic here tonight
