It was February, I was cold and closed
I left New York City, searching for a sweeter road
You warmed my body, kept my mind full
But it was the summer sun that won my soul
We lived in an endless summer
In love til the sun went down
And I knew when it was over that the night would come
You were all I needed to find my eternal love
I had to find my happiness at home
So I can feel in love when I'm alone
Heaven's not a place, heaven is a feeling
Love that you create is how you get the real thing
Baby, I adore you but it's not the same
'Cause the woman in my mind is the one who lights my flame
We lived in an endless summer
In love til the sun went down
And I knew when it was over that the night would come
You were all I needed to find my eternal love
I had to find my happiness at home
So I can feel in love when I'm alone
Come on baby, light my flame
I wanna feel your light again
All my love went pouring out
I had to find a way for it to come back in
We lived in an endless summer
In love til the sun went down
And I knew when it was over that the night would come
You were all I needed to find my eternal love
We lived in an endless summer
In love til the sun went down
And I knew when it was over that the night would come
You were all I needed to find my eternal love
I had to find my happiness at home
So I can feel in love when I'm alone
We lived in an endless summer
In love til the sun went down
And I knew when it was over that the night would come
You were all I needed to find my eternal love
I had to find my happiness at home
So I can feel in love when I'm alone
