When I'm with you, babe, I just can't be lonely
When I'm away, babe, I think of you only
What can I do, babe, to get back to you, babe?
I'd do anything that you say
The night, she is a sapphire full of blue desire
Follow her love fire higher and higher
What can I do, babe, to stay here with you, babe
At least till the east turns to grey
Just you and me, girl, the stars and the real world
Spinning the minutes away
The darkness is passing, she's never long lasting
But my love ain't leaving through hurting or pleasing
I am telling you true, babe, ask me to do, babe
I'll trade all my treasures for you
The daylight are flashing, our hearts could be laughing
If only you wanted them to
For just you and me, girl, the sunshine and turmoil
Will spill from a basket of blue
When I'm with you, babe, I just can't be lonely
When I'm away, babe, I think of you only
What can I do, babe, to get back to you, babe?
I'd do anything that you say
Just you and me, girl, the stars and the real world
Spinning the minutes away
