My heart had never enjoyed soft music,
It had never enjoyed the gentle breeze,
It had never enjoyed lines of poetry,
All of this is happening today, I don't understand...
You are the poem, you are the dream...
You are the soft music in my loneliness...
You are my dearest, you are my shadow,
Will you truly come to me in reality?
You are the poem, you are the dream...
You are the soft music in my loneliness,
You are my dearest, you are my shadow,
Will you truly come to me in reality?
Right now, right away,
Won't you come and stand before me?
With all your love, with all your love,
Won't you drench me completely?
With all your love, with all your love,
Won't you blend into my heart?
You are the poem, you are the dream...
You are the soft music in my loneliness...
You are my dearest, you are my shadow,
Will you truly come to me in reality?
Right now, right away,
Won't you come and stand before me?
With all your love, with all your love,
Won't you drench me completely?
With all your love, with all your love,
Won't you blend into my heart?
My heart had never enjoyed soft music... ooh-hoo...
It had never enjoyed the gentle breeze... ooh-hoo...
It had never enjoyed lines of poetry...
All of this is happening today... I don't understand...
You are the poem, you are the dream...
You are the soft music in my loneliness...
You are my dearest, you are my shadow,
Will you truly come to me in reality?
My heart had never enjoyed soft music,
It had never enjoyed the gentle breeze,
It had never enjoyed lines of poetry,
All of this is happening today, I don't understand...
All of this is happening today, I don't understand...
All of this is happening today... I don't understand...
