[Verse 1]
Here comes the sun in the form of a girl
She's the finest sweetest thing in the world
Take you to heaven tonight
I feel the horses coming galloping
In the summer rain
Take you to heaven tonight
'Cause I love you for what you are
[Chorus]
I'll gallop to you, tonight, tonight
We'll ride, I'll give it to you
We'll go to heaven tonight
Tonight
[Verse 2]
Out on the winding road I can't wait
Oh baby, I was afraid
Headed for heaven tonight
I'll go to heaven tonight
I feel the horses coming galloping
I will never grow old
I'll go to heaven tonight, oh
Because I love you for what you are
[Chorus]
I'll gallop to you tonight, tonight
We'll ride, I'll bow down to you
We'll go to heaven tonight
Tonight
[Bridge]
I can't believe that I could be happy
Summer will come again
I could be happy
Oh, stop your crying
You can be happy
Go to heaven when you make me happy
[Verse 3]
Here comes the kiss that I never had
Nothing feels like this
Headed for heaven tonight, ah, ah
I love you
Here comes a storm in the form of a girl
She's the finest, sweetest thing in the world
I'll go to heaven tonight for what you are
[Chorus]
I'll gallop to you tonight, tonight
We'll ride, I'll bow down to you
We'll go to heaven tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Take it tonight
Take it tonight
Take me tonight
Tonight
