If I built you a temple   from the bricks of my heart   Would you stay there forever   never to tear us apart   If I gave you a mountain of gold   would you beg me to let you in, ooh would you?   To share our dreams of the days to come   and to find a place where we both will run ooh yeah!   If I built you a temple   yeah would you beg me to let you in   If I built you a temple   Would you try to stay within oh no!   If I built you a temple   The soul I give is all I've got   If I gave you my soul to keep   and to treasure it with pride   Would you stay in these arms girl   And never to let it slide   If I built you a staircase   to the heavens within   would you share the light    under garden trees    to walk a million miles    in the land of the free ooh yeah!   If I built you a temple   would you beg me to let you in   If I built you a temple   Would you try to stay within   If I built you a temple   Ooh no, the soul I give is all I've got yeah!   You know it's all I've got   Through you're a million miles    away from me   our love's so close as any love can be   and when I'm feeling down    I know you'll be there yeah!   Like a flower born in the early spring   Just I need of love and the gifts you bring   So sister above - I think I'm in love   yeah If I built you a temple   would you beg me to let you in   If I built you a temple   Would you try to stay within oh no!   If I built you a temple   The soul I give is all I've got yeah!   If I built you a temple   would you beg me to let you in   If I built you a temple   Would you try to stay within oh no!   If I built you a temple   The soul I give is all I've got
