If youve been feeling blue
Hey, its been the same for me
Now Im here with you
Youre exactly what I need

Put your defenses down
Let me show you now
This heart to heart is meant to be

Everything about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All I really had to sing was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night

Dont you know its a matter of love
Dont you know its a matter of trust
A connection between you and me
Cant you see its a matter of trust, matter of us, matter of love

Weve got magic here, its the power of love I know
Its dancing in the air, I can feel the feeling grow

Put your defenses down
Let me hold you now
And I wont ever let you go

Everything about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All I really had to sing was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night

Dont you know its a matter of love
Dont you know its a matter of trust
Nothings ever gonna seperate us
You and me, its a matter of trust, matter of us, matter of love

Put your defenses down
Let me hold you now
And I wont ever let you go

Say, everything about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All I really had to sing was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night

Dont you know its a matter of love
Dont you know its a matter of trust
A connection between you and me
Cant you see its a matter of trust, matter of us, matter of love

(its a matter of love...)
