Eyelashes, eyelashes
Eyelashes, eyelashes, eyelashes
Ho-oh-oh-ho-oh...
Eyelashes, eyelashes, eyelashes
Lifting my heart up
Eyelashes, eyelashes, eyelashes
Winking and speaking to me
Slowly, softly, sending shivers through me
Touched by the sunlight
Beautifully, beautifully, rippling like waves
Brushing gently against me
Truly, truly, she stirs the waves of my soul
Turning around at once, her eyes and lips
Hesitate a little to play
Pleading in that very moment
My heart leaps, drawing closer
To hold her tight
Her lips smile as shyness pouts
With lips so sweet
As we touch, I feel the love
In a flash, it turns into pure joy
Pounding rapidly, it strikes
It strikes you
Ho-oh-oh-ho-oh...
Eyelashes, eyelashes, eyelashes
Lifting my heart up
Eyelashes, eyelashes, eyelashes
Winking and speaking to me
Slowly, softly, sending shivers through me
Touched by the sunlight
Beautifully, beautifully, rippling like waves
Brushing gently against me
Truly, truly, she stirs the waves of my soul
Eyelashes, eyelashes
Eyelashes, eyelashes, eyelashes
Eyelashes, eyelashes
Eyelashes, eyelashes, eyelashes
Ho-oh-oh-ho-oh...
Eyelashes, eyelashes
Eyelashes, eyelashes, eyelashes
Ho-oh-oh-oh...
