Sweet one, fairer than the flowers
Never will I meet one sweeter than you
Would you turn away or could you
Really learn to care if I ever dare
To say I love you
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 I'm the slave, you're the queen
But still you can 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

They'd sing much sweeter than they do
'Cause 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
'Cause you brought a new kind of love to me
I know that you're the slave, I'm the queen
But still you can understand
