Mmm-hmm...
Mmm-hmm... mmm-hmm...
Bring a little more,
Let the heart be filled with boundless sweetness.
Go find a bed of flowers,
Where the moonlight caresses as we sleep.
I asked of you, so you must give;
I waited for you, so you must come.
Bring a little more,
Let the heart be filled with boundless sweetness.
Go find a bed of flowers,
Where the moonlight caresses as we sleep.
As blue-tinted eyes turn red,
And smiling lips turn pale,
As blue-tinted eyes turn red,
And smiling lips turn pale,
As the mind floats like a swing,
Wanting to gently sway just for me...
Bring a little more,
Let the heart be filled with boundless sweetness.
Go find a bed of flowers,
Where the moonlight caresses as we sleep.
As intoxication overflows,
With memories swelling like the sea,
As intoxication overflows,
With memories swelling like the sea,
Through countless arts of love,
Find a way for you and me to unite here!
Bring a little more,
Let the heart be filled with boundless sweetness.
Go find a bed of flowers,
Where the moonlight caresses as we sleep.
