Lyrics
How I adore you
Can I say more to you, sweetheart?
It was a secret, but now my secret
I’m pouring into your heart
Chorus
When I close my eyes and dream
In Paradise I seem
I’m holding you, enfolding you
And breathing your sighs, sweetheart
I realize, each burning kiss divine
Reveals that you are mine
If you but knew my love for you
When I close my eyes and dream
