  • After the first embrace from you my senses knew
    The look of love was in your eyes
    and after we first make love our senses tingle to
    Thetouch oh how we hypnotize
    Oh, to get the feeling on and on
    Oh, just to get the feeling
    Holding you closer in my arms we drift to heaven
    Bringing in the morning light
    And after all is said and done there's only us
    We can make it right
    So, our love will carry on and on
    Now our love will be free, be free.
    And when we play, love don't delay, I hear you now
    For what was then, is what is now, anyhow
    As I became a guest of love's tune hear again
    We'll carry on together like today.
    After the first embrace from you I want you too
    After the first embrace from you I want you too Writer/s: EVANGELOS PAPATHANASSIOU

  • Alan from Greatstone Stunning and at 67 I have just purchased all ican find although I knew the name I was to busy in the army at the time now I have a lot of time on my hands.
  • Cecilia from Portland, OrStunningly beautiful song. Ethereal and sweet. It has such a "high-tech" sound about it, and yet it's timeless, too.
  • David from Deerfield Beach, FlPosted 10/19/2007. I love Jon & Vangelis. I have all 3 albums, "The Friends Of Mr. Cairo" (one of my all-time fav's), "Private Collection", & "Short Stories". I just love the mystical, spiritual lyrics Jon Anderson sings in his unique high voice (I just wish I understood what he was talking about) underscored by the beautiful, uplifting, alternatively majestic & introspective, divine, heavenly new-age sound of Vangelis's keyboards. Listening to these back in the 1980's was almost like a religious experience for me. Vangelis provided some fine soundtrack scores (notably on the 1980 Carl Sagan PBS series "Cosmos" with the songs "Heaven & Hell", and "Alpha" among other notable soundtracks).
  • Roy from London, EnglandVangelis later won an Oscar for his soundtrack to the film "Chariots Of Fire".
