And what I do is what I feel
And what I feel is where I have to go
And where I go is where you are
My love, my fear, my beating heart
My simple answer that I'll never know
And what I say is what I know
And what I know is what my senses say
And what my senses say is this
That when I'm sceptical is please
And when I dare to take on, makes my day
And where I go is where you are
My love, my fear, my beating heart
My simple answer, that I'll never know
And what I say is what I know
And what I know is what my senses say
And what my senses say is this
That when I'm specptical is please
And when I dare to take on, makes my day
The magic all around - was Naomi
The starlight in the sky - was Naomi
Knew you were leading me on
I follow I feel I belong
I'm falling I've lost control
You've taken my heart and my soul
Naomi
Naomi
