What is this beauty in your eyes, like the deep blue sea?
What is this beauty in your eyes, like the deep blue sea?
Is that look meant for me?
Is that look meant for me?
For a little while, I lost myself.
Sss... Ah...
In these tender moments, I lost myself.
What is this sweet touch, feeling like a cool breeze?
Is that look meant for me?
Is that look meant for me?
In these tender moments, I lost myself...
Sss... Ah...
With ruby-red lips sweet like pure honey...
Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah... Aahaa... Aahaa...
Aahaa... Aahaa... Aahaa... Aahaa... Aahaa... Aahaa... Aahaa...
With ruby-red lips sweet like pure honey,
I have come to offer them as a gift.
Why talk of gifts when I am right here to give?
Why talk of gifts when I am right here to give?
What joy is there in love unless I give it?
In these tender moments, I lost myself...
Sss... Ah...
Burning warm at the thought of you,
cool and soothing in your embrace,
burning warm at the thought of you,
cool and soothing in your embrace,
this youthful body is yours for all time.
This youthful body is yours for all time.
When a man touches with love,
born of deep desire,
when a man touches with love,
born of deep desire,
a play of love will unfold,
and you yourself will be the stage.
A play of love will unfold,
and you yourself will be the stage.
For a little while, I lost myself.
Ah... Aahaa... Aahaa... Aahaa... Aahaa... Aahaa...
Like the earth drinking in
the rain poured from the skies,
I have found such sweet joy,
and it happened all because of you.
One half is kept hidden,
the other half is forgotten.
One half is kept hidden,
the other half is forgotten.
What we take and what we give
will now be shared equally between us.
What we take and what we give
will now be shared equally between us.
