"Hands To Heaven" by Breathe from their album All That Jazz (1987). The second single released from the album, this song was the British pop band's biggest hit, reaching the Top 10 in The UK, The US, New Zealand & Norway, and the Top 30 in Germany & Sweden. It is, IMHO of course, one of the most beautiful songs of the late 1980s.
Lyrics:
As I watch you move
Across the moonlit room
There's so much tenderness in your loving
Tomorrow I must leave
The dawn knows no reprieve
God give me strength when I am leaving
So raise your hands to heaven and pray
That we'll be back together someday - Hey
Tonight I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness
As we move to embrace
Tears run down your face
I whisper words of love so softly
I can't believe this pain
It's driving me insane
Without your touch, life will be lonely
So raise your hands to heaven and pray
That we'll be back together someday - Hey
Tonight I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness
Tonight I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness
Morning has come - Another day
I must pack my bags and say goodbye
Goodbye
Tonight I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness
Tonight I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness
