[Verse 1: Toni Braxton + Richard Marx]
It only took a moment
A solitary glance
And I could hear the voice of rapture call
I've loved you from a distance
Afraid to take a chance
But now it seems I can't help but to fall

[Pre-Chorus: Toni Braxton]
Imagine my surprise
To open up my eyes
And find that you were looking back

[Chorus: Toni Braxton + Richard Marx]
And suddenly, I can not remember who I used to be
And like the rain, this yearning washes over me
And all the pain I knew before is gone
And suddenly, I'm no longer drifting on an empty sea
And now I know that I believe in destiny
And mine is waiting right here in your arms

[Verse 2: Toni Braxton + Richard Marx]
I longed to awake beside you
And bathe in love's abyss
Washing all that comes before away
And in this frozen moment as I receive your kiss
There will not be words enough to say

[Pre-Chorus: Toni Braxton + Richard Marx]
I wanna make you melt, touch you like no one else
And do it all again a thousand times

[Chorus: Toni Braxton + Richard Marx]
And suddenly, I can not remember who I used to be
And like the rain this yearning washes over me
And all the pain I knew before is gone
And suddenly, I'm no longer drifting on an empty sea
And now I know that I believe in destiny
And mine is waiting right here in your arms

[Bridge: Toni Braxton + Richard Marx]
I wanna make you melt, touch you like no one else
And do it all again a thousand times

[Chorus: Toni Braxton + Richard Marx]
And suddenly, I can not remember who I used to be
And like the rain, this yearning washes over me
And all the pain I knew before is gone
And suddenly, I'm no longer drifting on an empty sea
And now I know that I believe in destiny
And mine is waiting right here, baby, in your arms
In your arms
