Lyrics
There I was
What a sad affair I was
My heart was hitched to a dream
There I stood never knowing where I stood
Day by day trying some new scheme
Refrain
Constantly I looked for you
No day or two but constantly
Constantly I wished you near
And now you’re here so close to me
And it isn’t magic, and you do exist
For after all, I know when I’ve been kissed
And you were meant to be my heart’s delight
Not just tonight but constantly
