I couldn’t understand
why roses hid their blossoms
Each time that I walked by
Or, why birds turned a-feather
refusing me their love songs
They seemed to be so shy
My steps were very slow
my heart – drawn and heavy
The world seemed so unkind
What is life without love?
I, daily asked my heart
No purpose could I find
REF: Mi amor, mi amor, mi amor—
I have no one to call to
Why’s my life so empty…
and every colour, blue?
Then one uncommon day
from the depth of a dream
Beauty walked into my life
The kindest face had she
This angel without wings
I vowed to make my wife
A light, then brightly dawned;
my world took on new meaning
When I saw you in the room
Your step was light as air
and your laughter, sweet music
I was high on your perfume
Mi amor, mi amor, mi amor—
Where do you run to?
And why do birds now sing
and leaves take a different hue?
Turning your face to me
your smile simply told me
We’d never be apart
You were all I’d prayed for
a dream that I woke up to
The hope within my heart
I could fly you off to
the mists of Niagara
And NY city spires
Or walk you ‘long the shore
& through the dapple woods
Then cuddle you by the fire
REF:
Mi amor, mi amor, mi amor—
Mi amor, mi amor, mi amor—
I know, now where you run
My life feels complete when
I’m at play in your sun
