Lyrics

SKIN TO SKIN
Words and Music by Diana Di Gioia Copyright 2008


If there’s a place where I’d be safer
Than wrapped inside your heart
Where it takes 50,000 horsepower
To tear us two apart
I would lead you there beside me
And hold you skin to skin
And breathe your breath
As long as we both should live

The soul may search for meaning
But the heart just looks for love
And knows it by the scent of its perfume
A natural aroma
Like autumn leaves or wood
More earthy than at first you would assume

Baby baby, breathe me baby
Baby baby, skin to skin
Baby baby hold me baby
Let my love all the way in
(Repeat 1 X)

Women like me learn slowly ‘bout what we’re really feeling
And some are just afraid to know the truth
If longing shaped the nights and days I spent for Lovers’ dreaming
Than what will shape the nights I spend with you?

The moon on your skin
Shines like the Milky Way
My body wrapped around you shines
More brightly than the day
Reach for my ache
And know it as your own
Our longings joined together bring us home

Baby baby, breathe me baby
Baby baby, skin to skin
Baby baby hold me baby
Let my love all the way in

repeat 3 X
Let my love, let my love, let my love all the way in
