Struggling with Love? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
The sun is shining on the ground. I see that nothing makes a sound. I move invisible as air, And choose the time to disappear. Ah, ah, ah - I'm in love with you. The spirit started long ago. They've found somewhere they couldn't go. They spend their time just looking out For those who never share a doubt. Ah, ah, ah, ah - they're in love with you. The seagull, on the seeping sand, Can die but never understand The oil that festers on our shore Will cast a stain forever more. Ah, ah, ah, ah - who's in love with that? The gnomes are moving through the night; They sing and fiddle with delight. And we eat Weetabix and sing About the joys that love can bring, Ah, ah, ah, ah - if they ever come. The sun is shining very hard; It melts both margarine and lard. But, me, I only dream of you. I hope that you are dreaming too. Ah, ah, ah, ah - I'm in love with you.
