Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
You are my destiny
You share my reverie,
You are my dream come true
That’s what you are
You are my destiny, you share my reverie
You are my dream come true, that’s what you are
You share my sweet caress, you feel my loneliness
You are my dream come true, baby that’s what you are
Heaven, I love you so
The emptiness
Can’t take your love from me
I stay alone and think of you
You are my destiny,
You share my reverie
You’re more than life to me
That’s what you are
Heaven and heaven alone
Can take your love from me
Cause I’d be a fool to leave you
And a fool I’ve never been
You are my destiny, you share my reverie
You are my dream come true, that’s what you are
