I closed my eyes and I slipped away...It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling). When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling). I begin dreaming (more than a feeling), 'Till I see Marianne walk away. I see my Marianne walkin' away."

Let me take you home tonight, I'll show you sweet delight."
