Lyrics
One thought of you
My heart begins churning
I feel return
To a fountain of love
My lips and eyes
They ache to be near you
To hold you here
In my fountain of loveNever be blue
Should your world start sinking
Just come and drink
From my fountain of love
We’ll build a new world
Off on a high mountain
We’ll live on our fountain of loveOne thought of you
My heart begins churning
I feel return
To a fountain of love
My lips and eyes
They ache to be near you
To hold you here
In my fountain of loveNever be blue
Should your world start sinking
Just come and drink
From my fountain of love
We’ll build a new world
Off on a high mountain
We’ll live on our fountain of love
We’ll live on our fountain of love
We’ll live on our fountain of love
We’ll live on our fountain of love
