Like a flower crying for the dew
That was my heart serenading you
My prelude to a kiss
If you hear a song that grows
From my tender sentimental woes
That was my heart trying to compose
A prelude to a kiss
Though it's just a simple melody
With nothing fancy, nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
A Schubert tune with a Gershwin touch
Oh, how my love song gently cries
For the tenderness within your eyes!
My love is a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss
If you hear a song in blue Like a flower crying for the dew That was my heart serenading you My prelude to a kiss If you hear a song that grows From my tender sentimental woes That was my heart trying to compose A prelude to a kiss Though it's just a simple melody With nothing fancy, nothing much You could turn it to a symphony A Schubert tune with a Gershwin touch Oh, how my love song gently cries For the tenderness within your eyes! My love is a prelude that never dies A prelude to a kiss Explain Request ×
