Ich hatte ein Lied, welches mich von Anfang an immer an Ria erinnerte. Vonda Shepard sang: "I only want to be with you". Als ich eines Abends mit Ria bei der Tanzschule war gab ich ihr eine Kassette mit dem Lied und dazu den Text. Sie hatte sich riesig darüber gefreut. Ich sehe heute noch ihre schönen Augen vor mir, die mich dabei anstrahlen. Wir tanzten auch später eine wunderschöne Rumba dazu.

Ich möchte heute noch singen: "I only want to be with you", aber Ria geht nun ihre eigenen Wege.


I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
'Cause you started something, can't you see
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me

It happens to be true
I only want to be with you

It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
I wanna spend each moment of the day with you
Look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this

It's crazy but it's true
I only want to be with you

You stopped and smiled at me, asked me if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms and I didn't stand a chance

Now listen honey, I just wanna be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together honey I don't care
'Cause you started something, can't you see
That ever since we've met you've had a hold on me

No matter what you do
I only want to be with you

You stopped and smiled at me, asked me if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms and I didn't stand a chance
Now listen honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together honey I don't care

'Cause you started something can't you see
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me

No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
