about
"Caught Up in the Rapture" is a 1986 ballad song by American R&B/soul singer Anita Baker. It was released as the follow-up single after "Sweet Love" from her album Rapture.
"Caught Up in the Rapture" was Baker's third top ten R&B single, peaking at number six on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart, and number nine on the Billboard Adult Contemporary . Inspired by the rich history of this amazing single, mafia natives & lapie just had to stick to the theme with this one, coming through with a smooth retro house remix.
lyrics
Pa, pa, pa, pa
Pa, pa, pa, pa
Pa, pa, pa, pa
When we met, I always knew
I would feel the magic for you
On my mind constantly
In my arms is where you should be
I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly free
I want you in my life for all time
Aaahhhhhhh (Pa, pa, pa, pa)
I'm caught up in the rapture of love
Nothing else can compare
When I feel the magic of you
Aaahhhhhhh (Pa, pa, pa, pa) x2
Pa, pa, pa, pa
Pa, pa, pa, pa
Pa, pa, pa, pa
We stand side by side
Till the storms of life pass us by
Light my life, warm my heart
Say tonight will be just the start
I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly free
I want you im my life for all time
Aaahhhhhhh
I'm caught up in the rapture of love
Nothing else can compare
When I feel the magic of you
The feeling's always new
Caught up in the rapture of you
Aaahhhhhhh
I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly free
I want you in my life for all time
Aaahhhhhhh
I'm caught up in the rapture of love
Nothing else can compare
When I feel the magic of you
The feeling's always new
Caught up in the rapture of you x2
Aaahhhhhhh
