Lyrics:

Lost in a dream in the arms of the night
Two lonely prisoners of our own device
Don't let me go
Hold on together
You wanna know if love can be real
I wanna take everything I can steal
Love on the line, it's now or never
Why can't the night last forever?

This could be Paradise
Holding you here by my side
If we just close our eyes
We'll be in Heaven tonight

Run through the night down streets of desire
Burning my soul, my heart's on fire
Give up the fight, it's sweet surrender
With trembling hands we reach for it all
Two desperate hearts waiting to fall
I need you now, now more than ever
Why can't the night last forever?

This could be Paradise
Holding you here by my side
If we just close our eyes
We'll be in Heaven tonight

[Guitar Solo]

This could be Paradise
Holding you here by my side
If we just close our eyes
We'll be in Heaven tonight

This feels like Paradise
I see the world in our eyes
If we just hold on tight
We'll be in Heaven tonight

This line up was when Yngwie sounded the best. If he would have stayed on the major labels, stayed with this line up, and let others produce him just a little... he could have become something really awesome. Don't get me wrong: He's done great things since this too, but this was his ultra prime.

@yamila68 I have it on VHS but i think its on DVD now- wow Joe Lynn Turner's vocals are still amazing

[RazorDaveInc]

@netman1019 Haha. I agree. The background vocals were totally tracked. As a matter of fact, they would use these same Joe Lynn Turner samples even if there was a different vocalist! Hahah... Taped vocals are bittersweet, they sound excellent but are cheating. Real vocals are real, but they dont sound as good by a long shot! Cheers!
