Lyrics
Just feel the love around you This love's enough, it shines through So take my hand and you'll see It's time for make believe When you feel the light that shines on you You'll know that I'll be with you soon When you hear me say that I love you You'll know that it's come true So take me in your arms and hold me now (I'll show you how) I never want to stop, can't get enough Of this thing called love So take me in your arms and shout it out (Oh so loud) Together we can reach the sky above It's a thing called love Just feel the love around you My love's enough to shine through So take my hand and hold me It's time so just believe When you see the light that shines so true You'll know that I'll be with you soon When you hear me say that I love you You'll know this dream's come true

Song Production Information
D-crew
Hi all! Well, initially I was going to sing this song myself but I had a certain American girl, with amazing blonde hair, sing it instead because her voice was a perfect match for the song.
I could not avoid her voice nor her beauty. (I mean, she was really, really, HOT!)
Anyway... the track sounded more mature and reserved, with less taste of techno, at the beginning of the composition but I transformed it into a much stronger dance track.
If I have a chance someday I wanna sing the song, in its original arrangement, myself.
Well, hope you enjoy it. Peace!
