Lyrics
If you ask me what is she like
I don’t know what I could say
But when I’ve thought it through
I think I’d say to you
Chorus
If you would see a candlelit room
You would see my heart’s desire
If you kiss a rose in full bloom
You would kiss my heart’s desire
If you would hear a haunting theme
Then you would hear the voice
That haunts my ev’ry dream
If you would love a sunset on fire
You would love my heart’s desire
