Lyrics
All mine
You’ll be all mine
Once I find you
Once I reach you
Your face, how it haunts me
Your arms, will they want me?
Will you know me?
What surprises will you show me?
I have young arms
I have old dreams
Warm as sunlight
Soft as moonbeams
And they told me
Come tomorrow
You will hold me
Is there something in the misty night
that keeps you from my lips?
How long will we be lonely people
Moving like two passing ships?
From the moment of your birth
You are my destiny on Earth
And I know well what love is worth
Sure as leaves fall
And the stars shine
You will soon be always, always, always, all mine
