Lyrics

First We Kiss

My heart beats against the wardrobe
I hear the closing door
Beats against the window
Tell me how long, tell me how long

Feel it come from nowhere
Taking over me
Feel it come from nowhere
Tell me why, tell me why

First we'll kiss
Then you will lock the door, my dear
A perfect kiss
Just to remind what's between us
Tonight is here

Feel it come from nowhere
Taking over me
Feel it come from nowhere
Tell me why, tell me why

First we'll kiss
Then you will lock the door, my dear
A perfect kiss
Just to remind what's between us tonight
What's between us tonight, tonight

Beats against the wardrobe
As I hear the closing door
Our face against the window
Our lips touch no more

And suddenly from up here
Everything's clear
The love we had between us tonight
Is here
