English Lyrics by
Leilani Noeckel:
|
- Ah love, your love divine has
come to me
- For I adore you and only you,
dear
- For you evoke the yearning in
my heart
-
- Chorus:
- I, a stranger, my Queen
- Beheld the lovelight in your
eyes, dear
- Say you will be mine, and mine
alone
- For in my heart is joy when you
are near
- Will you be true to me
alone
Until we meet again
