Frederik Cornelius on “A Thousand Times”
Lyrics:
You smell like roses
I smell like wine
My lips are close to your
Heart tonight
Cos I’m Gonna Love You
A Thousands Time Tonight
I’ll pick you up
At 5 am
Ain’t got no time
To catch your name
Still I’m Gonna Love You
A Thousands Time Tonight
Maybe I Need Something
That Only You Can Do
Help me out of this place
This place that keeps me from getting to you
Still I’m gonna want You
A Thousands Time Tonight
Saw you standing
You seemed the same
Didn’t think that you would
Show me way
Still I’m Gonna Love You
A Thousands Time Tonight
Maybe you need something
That makes my dream come true
Help me out of this place
This place that keeps me from getting to you
Cos I’m gonna want You
A Thousands Time Tonight
You come on over,
I play it cool
We both know the
Same old rules
Cos I’m gonna want you a thousand
I’m gonna love you a thousand time
I’m gonna want you a thousand tonight
