Michelle Morris Poet Lyric

Take Me To Eternity

Inspired by the lovely dance scene between the beautiful Elena (Nina Dobrev) and handsome Damon (Ian Somerhalder) in Season 1, Episode 19: "Miss Mystic Falls" of the alluring and magical TV show, "The Vampire Diaries". The intimacy of not quite touching as part of the dance steps alludes to a simpler and nobler time of romance. 

Duet ballad.

Take me to eternity

You're dangerous
It's obvious for all to see
The world knows your power
You're a sinner who wants to believe

In love and ever after
In trust and happiness
Loyalty and true devotion
Is there something here for us?

So close we are in the here and now
Not quite touching in the here and now
Do you think we could ever be?
Do you think we have the magic we need?

Oh, oh, oh...
Take... Take all of me
Take me to eternity

Take... Take all I am
Take me to your freedom

Oh, oh, oh...
Take... Take all of me
Take me to eternity

Take... Take all I am
Take me to your freedom

In times gone by
I'd be your knight
In times gone by
I'd do everything right

Now, here we are
Not quite touching
Dancing together
Moving in unison

Oh, oh, oh...
Take... Take all of me
Take me to eternity

Take... Take all I am
Take me to your freedom

Oh, oh, oh...
Take... Take all of me
Take me to eternity

Take... Take all I am
Take me to your freedom

You're mesmerising 
It's obvious for all to see
The world knows your beauty 
You're an angel who wants to believe

In love and ever after
In trust and happiness
Loyalty and true devotion
Is there something here for us?

So close we are in the here and now
Not quite touching in the here and now
Do you think we could ever be?
Do you think we have the magic we need?

Oh, oh, oh...
Take... Take all of me
Take me to eternity

Take... Take all I am
Take me to your freedom

Oh, oh, oh...
Take... Take all of me
Take me to eternity

Take... Take all I am
Take me to your freedom

Oh, oh, oh...
Take... Take all of me
Take me to eternity

Take... Take all I am
Take me to your freedom

Oh, oh, oh...
Take... Take all of me
Take me to eternity

Take... Take all I am
Take me to your freedom
