Lyrics

LIVING IN THE AFTERGLOW

Living in the Caribbean on an island paradise,
Living in a penthouse in L.A.
Sailing on a private yacht upon the seven seas,
With servants to attend my beck and call.
I?ve wished for all of these and more,
But now I wish for nothing.
I?ve found what I?ve been looking for.
Now all I want is you.

Don?t want to live in Paradise.
Don?t want to live in L.A.
Don?t need to have no servant to pour my drinks.
Don?t ever need to do the things that all the rich folks do.
?Cos I?m living in the afterglow of making love to you.

All the diamonds I could buy wont make me feel this happy,
All those furs are best left running wild.
Owning my own private jet wont make me feel this high,
It would only take me far away from you.
So cancel all those dreams I?ve had,
Take back my greedy wishes.
I?ll never want a thing again,
So long as I?ve got you.

Don?t want expensive gifts to flaunt,
Don?t want shiny limousines.
Pyjamas made of silk are not my style.
Don?t ever want to spend a fortune on fifth avenue,
?Cos I?m living in the afterglow of making love to you.

Happiness has tripped me up when I wasn?t even looking,
I fell into your arms with sweet surprise.
So let the wealthy keep their gold, I?m richer than them all.
Your love has turned my lifes dream inside out.
The Gods have smiled on me at last,
They?ve given me lifes riches,
I?ll never want for more than this,
True love has come my way.

Postpone tomorrow I might be late.
I?m happy with today.
Don?t want to let this moment slip away.
Suddenly I can?t believe lifes too good to be true.
?Cos I?m living in the afterglow of making love to you.
