Lyrics
Do you wonder if I ever spend my nights
Chasin’ ’round through those city lights
The answer’s no, I found out long ago
I’ll keep on loving you, I’ll keep on loving youAnd I wonder if you’ve ever close your eyes
And think of me sometimes late at night
Even though the answer’s probably no
I’ll keep on loving you, I’ll keep on loving youI’ll still call you baby
I’ll always treat you like a lady
You’ll always remain to be somewhere in my soul
And baby, shine brighter than any star
That’s bringing on the evening
Burning in my heartI’ll still call you baby
I’ll always treat you like a lady
Girl, you’ll always remain to be somewhere in my soul
And baby, shine brighter than any star
That’s bringing on the evening
Burning in my heartYeah, I’ll still call you baby
Forever in my heart
