1.       When I touch you I can feel you shivering,

C                                        D

    I can feel your heart is beating fast,

C                D                                C

    we are alone in this crowded room,

C                                   D

    Oh, tonight there is something happening,

C                                                    D

    and it's something that should never be,

    high above the worries of the world,

    I'd love you there for a long, long time.

C                                             D

    And we'll discover all our deepest secrets,

C                                   D

C                 D                                Em

    until the dawn breaks over the sea.
