Ah, the sweetness of being beside you

Ah, the sweetness of being beside you.

To sink silently

into your eyes of blue!

All your soul's flaming passion

Is reflected so strongly in them,

Beyond the expression of words.

And my heart leaps up at the sight of you!

I love to gaze upon you;

Your delighted smile and sensuous movements

Tell me so much.

Vainly would I seek

to stifle the surges of my agitated spirit

And still my heart with reason.

My heart does not listen to reason at the sight of you!

Like a wondrous new star

You came upon me

and lit up my life.

Shine on me, show me the way,

lead me to new happiness.

For I have known no hope.

And my heart will drown in ecstasy

at the sight of you!
