Lyrics
All this suspense at present
Is hardly pleasant for me
Making me wait so for you
When I adore you
Should never be, dear
Refrain:
Oh, how I long to belong to you
Make life like a dream or a song to you
I long to be your all in all, the only one
Find a heaven in your arms
When day is done
I know you don’t know what you do to me
Your thrill is a thrill that is new to me
This waiting, hoping, night and day
Is hard to do
How long must I long to belong to you?
