Learn to love,
In my beauty and in my eyes!
The shades that tell you to love,
Are in your flowers and on your lips!
Learn to love,
In my beauty and in my eyes!
Stars like diamonds,
Both cheeks lavishly gifted,
Shimmer and sway like a mirror.
If one plans and gently touches
The budding flower circling around,
Who is there to ask why?
In your flowers and on your lips!
Female: In my beauty and in my eyes!
The shades that tell you to love,
Are in your flowers and on your lips!
Learn to love,
In my beauty and in my eyes!
Shyness is over there, passion is right here;
If we hold each other tight, where is the fear?
Is this an unfamiliar face?
Wherever my heart resides,
There lies your bed of love.
Is this a bond that hasn't ripened?
In your flowers and on your lips!
Female: In my beauty and in my eyes!
Learn to love,
In my beauty and in my eyes!
Male: The shades that tell you to love,
Are in your flowers and on your lips!
The school called the eyes,
And the joyful lesson taught by womanhood,
Were they created just for me?
A body gleaming like solid gold,
A union of love for all eternity,
What separation could there ever be in our lives?
In your flowers and on your lips!
Female: In my beauty and in my eyes!
The shades that tell you to love,
Are in your flowers and on your lips!
Female: Learn to love,
In my beauty and in my eyes!
