Lyrics
Feelin’s just lead us on till we know
Where we’re goin’, hmm
If I told you that I loved you
Could we slip away where the lights’re low?
And if I put my arms around you
And held you close could you tell me no
Well, you know that I’d be lyin’
If I said, I was a tryin’ to let you know I’d go
Let love take me where we’ve never been before
Feelin’s just lead us on till we know
Where we’re goin’, hmm
You don’t know how long, I wanted
To have you where you are right now
With you looking soft and pretty
Ain’t no telling where we’ve found
Now here we are together, too close with talkin’
I can’t tell you no, whoa
Yes, love take us where we’ve never been before
Feelin’s just lead us on till we know
Where we’re goin’, hmm
