When from the start I first saw you
With all the love my heart bore you
I simply prayed for one night alone with you

The touch of your sweet lips burning
Just filled me with a mad yearning
One night just made for only we two

I won’t lie for why should I
When it’s plain enough to see
You know that I’m wanting you
As much as you’re wanting me

A happy face, the dawn breaking
A fond embrace, then me taking
All that I prayed for one night alone with you
