More and more, this heart of mine confesses
More and more, I'm courting your caresses
Warmed by the breath of your sigh
Cooled by the blue of your eyes.

More and more I tremble but it's thrilling
To share this dream that needed fulfilling
More and more I'm less and less unwilling
To give up wanting more and more of you.

I try to hide what my eyes won't conceal
I try to tell myself this isn't real
I locked my heart but each beat is revealing
Every little throb I feel.

More and more this heart of mine confesses
More and more I'm caught in your caresses
Warmed by the breath of your sighs
Cooled by the blue of your eyes.

More and more I tremble but it's thrilling
To share this dream that needed fulfilling
More and more I'm less and less unwilling
To give up wanting more and more and more of you.
