Intro:
DHold Eon as love Atakes you through the F#mnight
DHold Eon for the Anight.
I:
AYou can see along the F#mbeach for miles
Where the Dwaves kiss the Esand
AWalking the beach there were F#mtwo young souls
DBare foot, Ehand in hand
And all the Ddreams they had for each Eother
Were Aburning in their F#mhearts
ToBmnight they find true love
ToEnight a fire starts.

AAs they long to each F#mothers passion
A Dbrand new love gave Ebirth
AA fire so hot was F#mburning within
Like Dnothing else on Eearth
And all the Dhopes they had for each Eother
Were Aburied in their F#mminds
ToBmnight a new desire
ToEnight for lovingkind.

DHold Eon for the Anight.

AYou could see the spangled F#mheaven above
As the Dstars lit the Esky
AYou could hear the distance F#msound from the shore
As the Dwaves caress the Enight
DAnd all the Ddreams they had for each Eother
Were Aburied in their F#mminds
ToBmnight a new desire
ToEnight for lovingkind.
CHORUS:
DHold Eon as love Atakes you through the F#mnight
DHold Eon for the Anight, darling...
