Lyrics
Most of the world seems to be
Listening to love’s melody
Each has a love song divine
When will I listen to mine
Chorus
Where is the song of songs for me?
Beautiful song of ecstasy
When will I hear the melody?
When will I hear the words “I love you”
Where is the one I long to see?
Close to my heart in days to be
Singing the song of songs to me
Saying the words of words, “I love you”
