In my heart, deep in my heart
There is a strange feeling
In my thoughts, in my thoughts
It feels so completely new
In my heart, deep in my heart
There is a strange feeling
In my thoughts, in my thoughts
It feels so completely new
Is it walking its own path?
Or is it stepping aside and moving away?
Should I look for a companion in my loneliness?
Or simply go with the flow?
In my heart, deep in my heart
There is a strange feeling
In my thoughts, in my thoughts
It feels so completely new
Two little sparrows searching for food
Circle around and flutter their wings
Fluttering their wings, fluttering their wings
After wandering all around
They come to live together in one nest
Living together, living together
Isn't being all alone enough?
Wouldn't it be good to find a partner?
Can't life turn out like those little birds?
If the heart truly wants it, won't it happen?
It tells me that it is good
My heart, finally making up its mind
In my heart, deep in my heart
There is a strange feeling
In my thoughts, in my thoughts
It feels so completely new
Is it walking its own path?
Or is it stepping aside and moving away?
Should I look for a companion in my loneliness?
Or simply go with the flow?
