Lyrics
The night is alive with tinkling guitars
The wind softly sighs a serenade to the stars
Querida mia, querida mia
Listen to the story of my love
Refrain
Day after day I’ll always love you
Live just to say I’ll always love you
Dear one, your nearness is my treasure
Dear one, you kiss is rich as wine
And it’s mine, yes, it’s mine, the wonder of you
Yours, love is yours because I love you
To you I give my heart so madly, madly beating
With ev’ry beat repeating
I’ll always love you so
