I'm lookin' for a place to go so I can be all alone From thoughts and memories So that when the music plays I don't go back to the days When love was you and me Oh, oh moja droga jacie kocham Means that I love you so Moja droga jacie kocham More than you'll ever know Kocham ciebie calem serce Love you with all my heart Return and always be My melody of love Wish I had a place to hide all my sorrow, all my pride I just can't get along 'cause the love once so fine keeps on hurtin' all the time Where did I go wrong? Oh, oh moja droga jacie kocham Means that I love you so Moja droga jacie kocham More than you'll ever know Kocham ciebie calem serce Love you with all my heart Return and always be My melody of love Oh, oh, {"la-la's" for the first line of chorus} My melody of love {"la-la's" for the first line of chorus} My melody of love {"la-la's" for the first line of chorus} My melody of love
