Alabama - Take Me Down Lyrics

Fly away with me tonight

Take me on a one-way flight in your lovin' arms

And everything's gonna be alright

You're the one who took my hand

When no one else could understand

You're the one who moves me

Like nobody else can

In your eyes I see the light

It's your emotions glowing bright

So keep the fires burning

And let it warm me through the night

You can be a part of me

'Cause you're what love was meant to be

You and me baby we'll set the flame inside free

Take me down to where I want to be

Turn around, the man who lives inside of me

Take me down and lose me all night long

Hold me close and make me strong

Take me down, take me down tonight

You don't have to stay forever

Let's just put our hearts together

And share another night in ecstasy

We know that it's feelin' better

Every time we come together

Maybe love was meant for you and me
