[English]

Standing here in the music hall

With my microphone and a glitterball

And you walked right in, blowing through the doors

Like a force of nature, a force of nature

I can't look up, 'cause my head's a mess

But you're beautiful in the way you dress

I'm lost for words and I'm powerless

Right from the beginning, you got me singing

Ooh

Singing, ooh

Singing, ooh

Singing, oh

I'm so in love with you, ooh

Singing, ooh

Singing, ooh

Singing, oh

I'm so in love with you

I thought I'd lost you in the crowd

But how can I, when you stand out?

You're like the sun through the evening rain

The bells are ringing, you got me singing

Ooh

Singing, ooh

Singing, ooh

Singing, oh

I'm so in love with you, ooh

Singing, ooh

Singing, ooh

Singing, oh

I'm so in love with you

And I feel love

Do you feel love?

And I feel love

I've only got eyes for you, for you

Just look and see, it's true, it's true

So tell me what to do, to do

Don't wait too long

I can't look up, 'cause my head's a mess

But you're beautiful in the way you dress

I'm lost for words and I'm powerless

Right from the beginning, you got me singing

Ooh

Singing, ooh

Singing, ooh

Singing, oh

I'm so in love with you, ooh

Oh, I'm so in love

I'm so in love with you

And I feel love

Do you feel love?

And I feel love

And I feel love

Do you feel love?

And I feel love
