I?m returning to the secret place
Just an altar and a flame
Love is found here
In our sacred space
I hear Your voice I see Your face
You?re still my first love
You?re still my only one
You?re still my first love
You?re still my only one
There?s a table just for You and me
Break the bread and pour the wine
Perfect union
Nothing in between
I am Yours and You are mine
I feel my heart beating out of my chest
I wanna stay forever like this
May the flame of my heart always be lit
I wanna burn forever like this
Your love is wild
Your love is wild for me
