When all seemed lost
You came into my life
Two ships that passed
In the heat of the night

Our time was brief
But what you left me with
Was a spark re-lit
The ultimate gift

You threw me a lifeline
And pulled me right in
I was sinking so fast
And forget how to swim

(Chorus)
Erica, you showed me my life wasn't lost
Erica, there was a line that we crossed
Erica, you shared yourself for a cost
Erica, your skin and heart were so soft


The kindness you showed
Will last me for years
The warmth that you gave
Erased all my fears

I'm whole once again
My world you have changed
I'm part of it all
I'm no longer estranged

I'll never see you
Again and it hurts
But my soul still feels
The force you exert

(Chorus)
Erica, you showed me my life wasn't lost
Erica, there was a line that we crossed
Erica, you shared yourself for a cost
Erica, your skin and heart were so soft


When all seemed lost
You came into my life
Two ships that passed
In the heat of the night

Our time was brief
But what you left me with
Was a spark re-lit
The ultimate gift

You threw me a lifeline
And pulled me right in
I was sinking so fast
And forgot how to swim

(Chorus)
Erica, you showed me my life wasn't lost
Erica, there was a line that we crossed
Erica, you shared yourself for a cost
Erica, your skin and heart were so soft


The kindness you showed
Will last me for years
The warmth that you gave
Erased all my fears

I'm whole once again
My world you have changed
I'm part of it all
I'm no longer estranged

I'll never see you
Again and it hurts
But my soul still feels
The force you exert

(Chorus)
Erica, you showed me my life wasn't lost
Erica, there was a line that we crossed
Erica, you shared yourself for a cost
Erica, your skin and heart were so soft
