Song Lyrics
Show me that smile again Ooooh show me that smile
Don’t waste another minute on your cryin
We’re nowhere near the end nowhere near
The best is ready to begin
Oooohhh As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin right in our hands
Baby you and me we gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin
As long as we keep on givin
we can take anything that comes our way
Baby rain or shine all the time
We got each other Sharin the laughter and love sharin the laughter and love
