Lyrics for Lover

Lover, when I'm near you And I hear you speak my name Softly, in my ear you Breathe a flame Lover, when we're dancing Keep on glancing in my eyes Till loves own entrancing Music dies All of my future is in you Your every plan I design Promise you'll always continue To be mine Lover, please be tender When you're tender, fears depart Lover, I surrender To my heart Lover, it's immoral But why quarrel with our bliss When, two lips of coral Want to kiss I say the devil is in you And to resist you, I try But if you didn't continue I would die Lover, please be tender When you're tender, fears depart Lover, I surrender To my heart
