L'amour

Like rain drops falling on a burning desert,
Sweetest words your ear can hear,
like a rainbow shining on a rainless earth,
oh amour, how I welcome thee to my arms.

Like the first rays of sun on a gloomy night,
a very light breeze with a joyous sight,
like a thought which tingles your arms and spines
Oh amour, how I welcome thee to my life

In the midnight rose and the dawn of eve,
in the peak of obsession despair and fear,
when the thoughts lash out with a maddening speed,
Oh amour, how I welcome thee to my arms.

How I find you consoling, so welcome, so near.
how I feel it in my heart, alive so dear,
how it warms my insides and chills my fears,
how can I explain, amour, you are queer.

Wrapped in a blanket on a stormy dark night,
curled up with a book under the mysterious sky,
I think of you amour, life's nice
with you in it I'll never fail, right?
