Lyrics by: Mary Ellen Moore & Richard Pilon
Music by: Mary Ellen Moore & Geoff Pinhey
 

Chorus 1.
Oh, it's not skin deep, it's more than beauty sleep -
Yes, we were born to thrive on the fire inside;
Be more than skin deep, bring more than beauty sleep -
'Cause we were born to thrive on the hearts inside.

1.
When you bring me closer, or when we're apart -
I can hear you calling, sweet lover in the dark;
Never leave me lonely - feel the same thing -
Call it mirror image, the sweet needs that you bring.

Chorus 2.
Oh, it's not skin deep, it's more than beauty sleep -
Yes, we were born to thrive on the fire inside;
Be more than skin deep, bring more than beauty sleep -
'Cause we were born to thrive on the hearts inside.
Sail past the evening sky, silhouetted from the light -
Be more than skin deep...

2.
I can love no other - no one else is worth the wait -
Just like distant thunder, kissing away my fate;
Sometimes I know you're blue, should leave you for a while -
Treasured are the moments, waiting for your smile.

Chorus 3.
Oh, it's not skin deep, it's more than beauty sleep -
Yes, we were born to thrive on the fire inside;
Be more than skin deep, bring more than beauty sleep -
'Cause we were born to thrive on the hearts inside.
Sail past the evening sky, silhouetted from the light -
Dreamers of love's descent, daring dancers in the night;
Be more than skin deep...

3.
Deeper, deeper, here we go - falling, dancing, to and fro -
Sailing, soaring, reach that height - running faster through the night;
Reaching out, to the temple far - blazing like a shooting star -
Grab that tail, now hear me wail - oh, our love  is like a gale;
Be more than skin deep...
