The moment I saw thine eyes --
My heart became a quivering leaf --
And the seconds seemed like hours --
Making my tongue so stiff --
What made the tea so sweet?
What made the chill feel so warm?
'Tis the magic thou hast got, if not --
I'd rather stay in my dream --
I'd like to prolong the silence --
To sense the world, saying nothing --
That was simply enough to us --
Your eyes told me everything --
