I look for your face in every crowd
I know you’re with me in every town
I still can feel you a thousand miles away
I got no doubt this magic will stay

Right now, I wanna be with you
Right now, I wanna feel you and touch you
Right now, I gotta see you just one more time
Right now, I wanna lay with you
Right now, I wanna reach out and hold you
Right now, I gotta play with you one more time

I look in you eyes and see my heart
I touch your hand and I know we can’t part
My feelings for you keep going on strong
I know with you there is no wrong

Right now, I wanna be with you
Right now, I wanna feel you and touch you
Right now, I gotta see you just one more time
Right now, I wanna lay with you
Right now, I wanna reach out and hold you
Right now, I gotta play with you one more time

Right now
Right now
Right now

All of those good times when we’re at play
There’s so much inside me there’s so much to say
It’s only for me and I know my place
People know you put a smile on my face

Right now, I wanna be with you
Right now, I wanna feel you and touch you
Right now, I gotta see you just one more time

Right now, I wanna be with you
Right now, I wanna reach out and hold
Right now, I gotta play with you one more time

Right now, I wanna be with you
Right now, I wanna feel you and touch you
Right now, I gotta see you just one more time
