  • Ten, remember when you didn't love me?
    Nine, now all the time you're thinking of me
    Eight, life is great, you're all I'm living for

    This is my countdown to love, oh, oh
    This is my countdown to love

    Seven, we'll be in Heaven before the night is through
    Six, I'll play no tricks, I'm always straight with you
    Five, love's alive in our hearts every day

    This is my countdown to love, oh, oh
    This is my countdown to love

    Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
    Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
    Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
    Countdown to love

    This is my countdown to love, oh, oh
    This is my countdown to love

    You are the one love in my life
    I know you feel that way too
    Oh, what a thrill when I'm holding you near
    All of my wild dreams come true

    Forever more you'll be my lover
    It's you for me, there'll never be another

    Two gether four ever we'll be as one

    This is my countdown to love, oh, oh
    This is my countdown to love

    Ooh, countdown to love
    Ooh, countdown to love
    Ooh, countdown to love
    ...

  • Michael from San Diego, CaIt's a beautiful song with terrific harmonies.
  • Bobby from Woodbridge, Njthis song was actually written by the incomparable Kenny Vance...he was also the musical producer for the movie...in many of his recent concerts he still performs this song in a much slower fashion.
