Boom Clap
Love…it’s a funny thing. Starting with that first kiss… “You take me over you're the magic in my veins. This must be love." You make my heart race, my palms sweat, my vision blur. You make everything right. You’re my light in the darkness, you make my life sparkle. You make my heart pound….Boom clap!
