Lyrics
They say, Ruby, you’re like a dream
Not always what you seem
And tho’ my heart may break
When I awake, let it be so
I only know, Ruby, it’s you
They say, Ruby, you’re like a song
You don’t know right from wrong
And in your eyes I see heartaches for me
But from the start, who stole my heart?
Ruby, it’s you
I hear your voice and I must come to you
I have no choice, what else can I do?
They say, Ruby, you’re like a flame
Into my life you came
And tho’ I should beware
Still I don’t care, you thrill me so
I know, Ruby, it’s you
