It was fascination, I know
And it might have ended right there at the start
Just a passing glance, just a brief romance
And I might have gone on my way empty-hearted
It was fascination, I know
Seeing you alone with the moonlight above
Then I touched your hand and next moment I kissed you
Fascination turned to love
(instrumental interlude)
It was fascination, I know
Seeing you alone with the moonlight above
Then I touched your hand and next moment I kissed you
Fascination turned to love
Version 2
When I chanced to meet you,
you did not strive
to please me;
but I still love you
with an ardent love
which, I
know, nothing can destroy.
You will always be my beloved
and I
believe in you as in the greatest joy.
Sometimes I leave you, but still
I return.
Love is stronger than I : I love
you!
When I am ill, I need your dark and sparkling
eyes
as a refuge in death.
And, my love, that I might live once
more
I need you by me for a day,
not even a day, just an hour!
To
cradle me a moment in your arms
when my heart is weary
and sometimes
when I weep.
Ah! believe me, my sweet, my beloved, my queen,
life
will be free from care, and sorrow.
When I chanced to meet
you...
You are a friend when hope is dead,
the friend
one dreams of in the evening,
the friend the heart longs for,
the
faithful ever-constant friend,
and still the only one a man
adores!
By your tears old cares
are quickly wiped away.
and we
are in love again!
Ah! believe me, my sweet, my beloved, my
queen,
life will be free from care and sorrow.
Come back to
me, |
