lyrics

Sometimes I wonder, sweetest love, if you
Were a mere dream in along winter night,
A dream of spring-days, and of golden light
Which sheds its rays upon a frozen heart;

Sometimes I wonder, sweetest love, if you
Were a mere dream in along winter night,
A dream of spring-days, and of golden light
A dream of wine that fills the drunken eye.

Finally I'm ready to give my soul
Your my home, my shelter of light and fall
I can hold your hand like the water carries a leaf
tenderly and preciously,
stopping the time, capturing the moment
like the first humans on Earth.

Sometimes I wonder, sweetest love, if you
Were a mere dream in along winter night,
A dream of spring-days, and of golden light
Which sheds its rays upon a frozen heart;

Sometimes I wonder, sweetest love, if you
Were a mere dream in along winter night,
A dream of spring-days, and of golden light
A dream of wine that fills the drunken eye.
