You Surround Me lyrics

Don't ever let me take you for granted.

You've got your finger on the pulse of my soul.

Let me place a kiss in the small of your back,

love and protect you from the evils of this world.

Ooh, baby, don't ever leave me stranded.

Whoever said that the streets were paved with gold?

Well, I'm afraid that we're all sadly mistaken,

There's nothing here till we have someone to hold.

I love you with all the joy of living

till the lights go down in New York City.

It's a special love affair

and there's magic in the air.

You gotta shake me down,

bring me round to my senses

till I'm lost and found

and you surround me with your senses.

If love wasn't here, would we reinvent it?

Take me down to the very root of my soul.

Baby, say it as if you really mean it

and feel the passion work its way up through your skin.

I love you with all the joy of living

till the lights go down in New York City.

It's a special love affair

and there's magic in the air.  

You gotta shake me down,

bring me round to my senses

till I'm lost and found

and you surround me with your senses.  

Let me take you by the hand

(let me take you by the hand)

and we can go and find a brand new world

(we can go and find a brand new world).

(Star light, star bright...)1

Let me take you by the hand

(take you by the hand)

and lead you to a safe place in this world

(safe place in this world).

You gotta shake me down,

bring me round to my senses

till I'm lost and found

and you surround me with your senses.   

You gotta shake me down,

bring me round to my senses

till I'm lost and found

and you surround me with your senses.  

You gotta shake me down,

bring me round to my senses

till I'm lost and found

and you surround me with your senses.  

You gotta shake me down,

bring me round to my senses

till I'm lost and found

and you surround me with your senses.  

You gotta shake me down,

bring me round to my senses

till I'm lost and found

and you surround me with your senses.  

You gotta shake me down,

bring me round to my senses

till I'm lost and found

and you surround me with your senses.    

1. The first line of a children's nursery rhyme said when making a wish upon the first star seen in the sky. The full rhyme is: Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight.
