Smother me with your kisses Bury me in your arms Oh the love that this is Has chained me to your charms Oh lock me up in your heart Drown me in your eyes 'Cos when you hold me, I'm alive You wash me clean of all sadness You cleanse me of all doubt Now this new born feeling I can't live without You've drugged me I'm addicted I'm drunk just on your smile 'Cos when you hold me, I'm alive I'm alive to each fingertip To the end of each fine hair My lips it seems, with every kiss, Are sending thankful prayers. You've woken a part of my soul That's slept for way too long Now I just can't get enough I understans love songs I'll sing to you forever I'll love you 'til I die 'Cos when you hold me, I'm alive
