My heart was sleeping
Until you came to me
And whispered tenderly
I love you so

My heart was sleeping
You changed the world for me
For love’s sweet mystery
I did not know

This message in your eyes
Led me to paradise
I saw the morning skies
Were blue above

My heart was sleeping
Till from a dream divine
With your lips close to mine
I woke to love.
