My heart has completely melted, girl,
For you have become my soul
All else has shrunk away, girl,
Now my thoughts are only of you
Without you, it will darken,
My sky
You are my only love,
Forever
My heart has completely melted, girl,
For you have become my soul
All else has shrunk away, girl,
Now my thoughts are only of you
Is it the music of a harp, or a gentle smile?
Is it honey when you speak?
Is it milk, oh... or your tender feet, oh...
Is your dress the shadow cast by your feet?
The white foam dissolving on the shore
Speaks like a sweet language
In the curve of your eyes, the rainbow's
Bright colors—is this what love is?
Without you, it will darken,
My sky
You are my only love,
Forever
My heart has completely melted, girl,
For you have become my soul
All else has shrunk away, girl,
Now my thoughts are only of you
