Give me back the heart you stole
My love... oh my love... my love
Send a message through the gentle breeze that touched me
My love, oh my love, my love
Stop smiling that smile of yours
Forget the way you look at me
Stop speaking those words to me
Girl, just forget me
My soul, forget me
My dear one, forget me
My love, walk away from me
Just let me live
Give me back the heart you stole
My love... oh my love... my love
Did this love begin just because our eyes met?
I wondered... yes, I wondered
Speak of love like a gentle, misty drizzle
I longed for it... yes, I longed
I have turned into the wind to love you
My darling, breathe me in just once
"I accept you too"
Just say those words to me here
My prince... my prince
You who became one with my soul
Give me back the heart you stole
My love... oh my love... my love
In the dream I had yesterday
I saw you... yes, I saw you
At this age of love, lost in thoughts
My heart fluttered... yes, it fluttered
Bring your heart close to mine
And lock me inside, at least once
Look straight into my eyes
And gaze at me, at least once
My beloved, my beloved
I live this whole life only for you
Give me back the heart you stole
My love... oh my love... my love
Send a message through the gentle breeze that touched me
My love, oh my love, my love
Stop smiling that smile of yours
Forget the way you look at me
Stop speaking those words to me
Girl, just forget me
My soul, forget me
My dear one, forget me
My love, walk away from me
Just let me live
Give me back the heart you stole
My love... oh my love... my love...
