Lyrics
In all my lonely life I never guessed
That I’d be blessed with one like you
My poor unworthy heart is so impressed
It’s too enormous to be true
Burthen
Stronger than the ocean
You and your kiss
Splendid as the sun at noon
Tender as a love song
You and your kiss
Just imagine one poor me
With such a luxury
What an I exchange for
You and your kiss?
Just a heart and nothing more
In my most fantastic dream
I stand here like this
Waiting for you and your kiss
