[Spoken]
Oh, baby
It's been so long
I've waited so long
And now that I have you
I want you to come
Come
Come
Come into my arms
Oh baby, I need you, I need you
Come
Come
Come into my arms again

[Verse 1]
Spirits move me
Every time I'm near you
Whirling like a cyclone in my mind
Oh sweet Peter, angel of my lifetime
Answer to all answers I can find

[Chorus]
Baby, I love you, come, come
Come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby, I want you now, now
Now, and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last?

[Interlude]
Oh, hold on to me
Don't let go
Oh, oh
Come into my life
Come on, oh
I need you so
Baby, oh my ..., ahh
Baby, hold on, hold on
Oh ...

[Verse 2]
Baby, take me
High upon your hillside
High up where the stallion meets the sun
I could love you, build my world around you
Never leave you 'til my life is done

[Chorus]
Baby, I love you, come, come
Come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby, I want you now, now
Now, and hold on fast
Could this be a magic at last?

Baby, I love you, come, come
Come into my arms
Could this be the magic of all of you
Baby, I want you now, now
Now, now and hold on fast
Could this be a magic at last?

[Breakdown]
Baby, I want you, come, come
Come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby, I want you now, now
Now and hold on fast
Could this be a magic at last?

[Chorus]
Could it be magic, yeah
Hold on, come into my arms
Could this be the magic of all of you?
Baby, I want you now, now, oh now
Oh now and hold on fast
Oh, could this be a magic at last?
Could it be the magic?

Now, now, oh now
Oh, now and hold on fast
Oh, could this be a magic at last?
Could it be magic?
Come on, come on, come on, hey
Come into my arms
Oh, let me know the wonder of all of you, all of you

Baby, I want you now, now, whoa, now
Whoa, now, and hold on fast
Oh, let me know the wonder of all of you, all of you
Baby, I want you now

Donna Summer

As the unquestioned queen of disco, the one and only Donna Summer lit up the late 70s and 80s with flashy, exuberant vocals and automatic earworms. Born LaDonna Adrian Gaines on Dec. 31, 1948, Summer moved to Germany after being cast in a Munich production of Hair. There, she happened to meet Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, and the trio conglomerated to form a dynamic music team. With Moroder, Summer forged together her first album, The Hostage, which reached moderate success in Northern Europe. Summer’s big break, however, would come later with the release of 1975’s sexual “Love to Love You Baby”, which became one of disco’s first mainstream hits and reached #2 on the Billboard Charts.

1977 came around with the concept album I Remember Yesterday, which featured the Top 10 single “I Feel Love”. The next year, Summer hit the silver screen with the movie Thank God It’s Friday, whose soundtrack featured one of her own the iconic “Last Dance.” This would later become one of the disco legends' signature songs. “Dance” would take home an Academy Award for Best Original Song, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe, and it jumped to a peak of #3 on the charts.

Yet Summer’s illustrious career was far from finished – Summer’s first live album Live and More featured the single “MacArthur Park”, a melting ballad that was a cover of the Jimmy Webb ballad of the same name. “Park” became Summer’s first – and perhaps most memorable – No. 1 hit, and cemented her status as a vocalist as well as a performer. With the track, she became the first female in modern rock history to hold the top spot in both the Hot 100 and the Billboard 200. 1979, though, would really be the peak of her career.
