There'll be no darkness tonight
Lady, our love will shine (lighting the night)
Just put your trust in my heart
And meet me in paradise (now is the time)
Girl, you're every wonder in this world to me
A treasure time won't steal away

So listen to my heart
Lay your body close to mine
Let me fill you with my dreams
I can make you feel alright
And, baby, through the years
Gonna love you more each day
So I promise you tonight
That you will always be the lady in my life

Lay back in my tenderness
Let's make this a night we won't forget
Girl, I need your sweet caress, oh
Reach out to a fantasy
Two hearts in a beat of ecstasy
Come to me, girl

And I will keep you warm
Through the shadows of the night
Let me touch you with my love
I can make you feel so right
And, baby, through the years
Even when we're old and gray
I will love you more each day
'Cause you will always be the lady in my life

Stay with me
I want you to stay with me
I need you by my side
Don't you go nowhere
(Ooh, girl, let me keep you warm)
Let me keep you warm (you are the lady in my life)
You're my lady (feel you with the sweetest love)
I want to squeeze you
(Always the lady in my life)
I want to touch you, baby
(Lay back in my tenderness)
(You are the lady in my life)
(Rock me with your sweet caress)
(Always the lady in my life)
You're my lady and I love you, girl
(Ooh, girl, let me keep you warm)
(You are the lady in my life)
Don't you go nowhere
(Feel you with the sweetest love) I love you
(Always the lady in my life) I love you, I need you, I want you, baby
(Lay back in my tenderness)
Stay with me (you are the lady in my life)
Don't you go nowhere
(Rock me with your sweet caress) and I love you, baby
(Always the lady in my life) ooh
Ooh, babe
Don't you go nowhere
You're my lady
All through the night

(Ooh, girl, let me keep you warm) I want to give you all
(You are the lady in my life) in my life, now
(Feel you with the sweetest love) let me feel you, baby
(Always the lady in my life) all over, all over, all over
(Lay back in my tenderness) lay back with me
(You are the lady in my life) let me touch you, girl
(Rock me with your sweet caress) lay back with me
(Always the lady in my life) all over, all over, all over
(Ooh, girl, let me keep you warm) all over, all over, all over
(You are the lady in my life) all over, babe, woo
(Fill you with the sweetest love)
(Always the lady in my life) you're my lady
(Lay back in my tenderness) you're my lady, babe
(You are the lady in my life) hee

    This song is so beautiful; i can't believe no one has commented. It reminds me of the song Fantasy by Earth, Wind & Fire at the chorus. I think its just about him telling a woman how much he loves her and could do for her. Aww. =]

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
