Lyric

Lay your head on my chest so you hear every beat of my heartNow there’s nothing at all that can keep us apartTouch my lips, close your eyes and see with your fingertipsThings that you do, and you know I’m crazy ’bout you
Kisses of fire, burning, burningI’m at the point of no returningKisses of fire, sweet devotionsCaught in a landslide of emotionsI’ve had my share of love affairs and they were nothing compared to thisOh, I’m riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kissKisses of fireKisses of fire
When you sleep by my side I feel safe and I know I belongStill it’s making me scared that my love is so strongLosing you It’s a nightmare, babe, and to me it’s newNever before did you see me begging for more
Kisses of fire, burning, burningI’m at the point of no returningKisses of fire, sweet devotionsCaught in a landslide of emotionsI’ve had my share of love affairs but they were nothing compared to thisOh, I’m riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kissKisses of fireKisses of fire
Kisses of fire, burning, burningI’m at the point of no returningKisses of fire, sweet devotionsCaught in a land-slide of emotionsKisses of fire, burning, burning(I’m at the point of no returning)Kisses of fire, sweet devotionsI’m riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss(Caught in a land-slide of emotions)Kisses of fire, burning, burningI’m at the point of no returningKisses of fire, sweet devotionsCaught in a land-slide of emotions
