Lyrics
Please, my love, please love me tonight
When comes the dawn, you may be gone far away
So please love, please hold me tight
Kiss me and then kiss me again and again
Let tomorrow’s memories be born
Just grant me this, one night of bliss
One more night of romance
Say you will, while we still have a chance
Oh please, love, soon we must part
Soon comes the dawn, soon comes the ache in my heart
Kiss me and then kiss me again and again and again
Soon comes the dawn, soon you’ll be gone far away
