You're so sweet and warm
Like the summer sun
From far away my dear
I can see your face so clear
Making me happy

Will color all my dreams
And light the dark

Look into my eyes, and see
All the lovely things, you are, to me (I love you, I love you)

Our wishful little star
Was far, too high, oh my darling
When a teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I, yes lord

Now when I remember spring
All the joy, love can bring
Ooh girl
I'll be remembering
The shadow of your smile
