Lyrics
Strollin’ in the park, watching winter turn to spring
Walkin’ in the dark, seein’ lovers do their thing, oohThat’s the time I feel like making love to you
That’s the time I feel like making dreams come true, oh babyWhen you talk to me, when you’re moanin’ sweet and low
When you’re touchin’ me and my feelin’s start to show, oohThat’s the time I feel like making love to you
That’s the time I feel like making dreams come true, oh babyIn a restaurant, holdin’ hands by candlelight
While I’m touchin’ you, wanting you with all my might, oohThat’s the time I feel like making love to you
That’s the time I feel like making dreams come true, oh babyStrollin’ in the park, watching winter turn to spring
Walkin’ in the dark, seein’ lovers do their thing, oohThat’s the time I feel like making love to you
That’s the time I feel like making dreams come true, oh baby
