Ice Skating Rink

a song about a night out; spent ice skating and chasing simple love.

Lyrics:
it was a frosty winter's night
within the city that never sleeps
among the crowd of faces
was the feeling we were meant to be
together in the confluence
of young and old and chic and meek
together, you and me

in a crowded frozen pond of gloves
and hats and faces wrapped in dance
we glided hand-in-hand around
the rink enclosing this romance
the warmth of feeling in your arms
and lights reflecting in your eyes
the stars are aligned tonight

and there's nothing i wouldn't do
there's nothing i wouldn't say
there's nothing i wouldn't...
to be in your arms... tonight

so we spent the night together
flying past the city's silhouette
we glided through the frosty air
attempting clumsy pirhouettes
the world is spinning madly by
but still i got you in my sights
you outshine the city tonight

in a local corner coffee shop
we sat and sipped our frothy drinks
and nursed the wounds we got
from when we slipped and slid within the rink
one look at you and instantly
i lose all sense of pain and cold
you heal my heart body and soul

and there's nothing i wouldn't do
there's nothing i wouldn't say
there's nothing i wouldn't...
to be in your arms... tonight

and just tonight the street side sounds
they sing a lullaby
of skating cheek-to-cheek
our hearts in beat
and sharing carefree sighs
as we shoot the breeze
and talk of chasing new year dreams
each whisper's a symophony
when i'm in your arms tonight

and just tonight the street side lights
they paint a portrait of
winter market stands and holding hands
and chasing simple love
as we slip and slide
across the pond from left to right
so hold me tight
cause my whole world is
in your arms... tonight

ba-bada-ba-ba...

so as the dawn draws near at home at last
i slip silently into bed
the sound and colors of tonight
still skating slowly round my head
and... slightly drifting off to sleep
perhaps perchance to dream
of tonight's ice skating rink

and there's nothing i wouldn't do
there's nothing i wouldn't say
there's nothing i wouldn't...
to be in your arms...

and there's nothing i couldn't do
there's nothing i couldn't say
there's nothing i couldn't...
when i'm in your arms...

and there's nothing i wouldn't do
there's nothing i wouldn't say
cause the world sings a perfect tune
when i'm in your arms... tonight
