From your deep dark eyes
So clearly opening
Love steals into sight
And the heart within me dearly
Flutters and blows
In fond delight
How then can you blame me
For being captive of your soul
For who on the face of the earth
Can resist your charm and your smile
Am I to reject your calling?
Am I to reject that smile?
You do of course know
My burning desires
The very wick of my heart
The light that keeps on burning
When everything is dark
But by discretion we live
And breathe and thrive happy as larks
As I near the end
I trust that I make myself utterly obscure
Where love is lost
And life is no more
2. Fantasy
At night I sit and dream
i dream of a world in which troubles and worries
Do not exist
A world in which I can live
Away from everything that is bad
Everything that hurts
I want to live in a world a lot like yours
Where no situation can get under my skin
And no amount of anger can lead me to sin
Unlock for me the door to your fantasy world
Oh cry for joy!
Oh cry for love!
As we dwell in our world
life becomes a gentle breeze
Bestowed from above
Does it tickle your senses?
Does it stimulate your interest?
Does it arouse your deepest feelings?
Yes you feel happy, for a while
Because you know that it will soon be morning
And you will awaken to a dark cold cruel world.
