The Dull Flame of Desire


I love your eyes, my dear
their splendid, sparkling fire
when suddenly you raise them so
to cast a swift embracing glance


like lightning flashing in the sky
but there's a charm that is greater still:
when my love's eyes are lowered
when all is fired by passions kiss


and through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
and through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire


I love your eyes, my dear
their splendid, sparkling fire
when suddenly you raise them so
to cast a swift embracing glance

like lightning flashing in the sky
but there's a charm that is greater still:
when my love's eyes are lowered
when all is fired by passions kiss

and through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
and through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire

dull flame
i see the full flame of desire
i see the dull flame
i see the full flame

I love your eyes, my dear
their splendid, sparkling fire
when suddenly you raise them so
to cast a swift embracing glance

like lightning flashing in the sky
but there's a charm that is greater still:
when my love's eyes are lowered
when all is fired by passions kiss

and through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire

dull flame

i see the full flame of
i see the dull flame
i see the full flame

I love your eyes, my dear
their splendid, sparkling fire
when suddenly you raise them so
to cast a swift embracing glance


like lightning flashing in the sky
but there's a charm that is greater still:
when my love's eyes are lowered
when all is fired by passions kiss


through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
and through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire


and through the
downcast lashes
I see the
dull flame
of
desire
