  • I've seen you in black and white
    Like a silent movie,
    But your colours came through tonight
    You really threw me.
    Wings of desire will carry us to where we want to be.
    Wings of desire will keep us flying for eternity.

    I'm riding on a wave of love too blue to lose me.
    I just can't get enough
    You really knew me.
    Wings of desire will carry us to where we want to be.
    Wings of desire will keep us flying for eternity.

    How many times have I told you
    Whenever you ask me why?
    How many times can I hold you?
    You always know when I try.

    We connect without a single word
    Like a book you read me.
    One look, the message heard
    With you it's easy.
    I'm riding on a wave of love
    And I see you in black and white,
    But your colours came through tonight.
