I’ve never thought I’d fall in love like this!
It’s frightening, but it’s bliss, it’s pure bliss!
Like walking on the edge of a precipice,
Like waking up to find your heart amiss.
Without my heart, how am I gonna live?
How shall I breathe? How shall I dream?
Or shall I dream at all,
now that my heart is gone?
What do I have to do so I live on?
Or shall I live on ever, till the end of days?
For I am now a spirit
– or a shadow
– or a ray
Of sun – or hope? Of love, I hope, for you.
And, older than the world,
for me this love is new.
Yet, though it is new, it’s true as true can be.
Just keep my heart. Don’t give it back to me!
