[English]

The look of love is in your eyes

A look your smile can't disguise

The look of love

It's saying so much more than just words could ever say

And what my heart has heard, well, it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you

How long I have waited, waited just to love you

Now that I have found you

You've got that look of love

Is on your face

The look that time can't erase

Be mine, tonight

Let this be just the start of

So many nights like this

Let's take a lover's vow

And then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you

How long I have waited, waited just to love you

Now that I have found you, don't ever go

Don't ever go, I love you so

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you

How long I have waited, waited just to love you

Now that I have found you, don't ever go

Don't ever go, don't ever go
