LYRICS

Never before have I known
A man who makes me feel more at home
The way your eyes make love to me
Is driving me into insanity

Come with me baby
Sway with me slow 
Grind your soul into mine
Lets let go and loose control

Your body on mine 
Your skin on my skin
Is opening me to the divine
Come baby, I will let you in

Let this magic begin 
Don't think you know what you are triggering
My bells are ringing, the vibe is right
I know you will take me on tonight

I give into your loving
Oh sweet darling
Oh make love to me
Yeah you are my long lost fantasy

The way you heal my soul
Makes my heart want to unfold
Touch me sweetly, yeah
You are my Gold

Saying you are my Gold
Saying you are my Gold
Say, touch me sweetly
Yeah, you are my, you are my

They said I shouldn't give it up but
Frankly I've had enough
Your bodies speaking words to me
That I haven't heard in eternity

You can take me down you can be tough
But your fingertips are enough 
To make me go crazy
For more of your loving baby

Would you mind if I dive into your arms
Trust your love won't do me no harm 
You wipe away all my troubles my dear
Come a little closer so you can hear

This is a game we both must play
Start now and do it all day
Im drunk of your love
High on your light
Come here baby
Give me one last bite

I give into your loving
Oh sweet darling
Oh make love to me
Yeah you are my long lost fantasy

The way you heal my soul
Makes my heart want to unfold
Touch me sweetly, yeah
You are my Gold

Saying you are my Gold
Saying you are my Gold
Say, touch me sweetly
Yeah, you are my Gold

Saying you are my Gold
Saying you are my Gold
Say, touch me sweetly
Yeah, you are my, you are my

You are my
You are my
You are my
Gold
