Sweet one, fairer than the flowers, Never will I meet one sweeter than you. Would you turn away or could you Really every care, If I'd ever dare to say, "I Love you." [Chorus] If the nightingales could sing like you, They'd sing much sweeter than they do, For you brought a new kind of love to me. If the Sandman brought me dreams of you, I'd want to sleep my whole life through, For you brought a new kind of love to me. I know that you're the queen, and I'm the slave, And yet you will understand That underneath it all You're a maid, and I am only a man. I would work and slave the whole day through If I could hurry home to you; For you brought a new kind of love to me.
