[Verse 1] In vain to think, God never gave the grace, To foresee you, or guess your hidden mind. If I had power to change time and space, To win your love, to make your heart inclined. [Chorus] How wildly, deeply, I desire you so, How sacredly I keep you in my chest. I love, I love, and as I burn and go, Reborn into tomorrow's wild unrest. [Verse 2] With words of tender meetings as they start, I will not dim you, nor let shadows fall. I only wish to see within your heart, A mutual longing answering my call. [Verse 3] Perhaps with thoughts forbidden, dark and deep, I would have reasoned, spoken, made you hear. If only once, while all the shadows sleep, Though I were scorned, I would have held you near. [Chorus] How wildly, deeply, I desire you so, How sacredly I keep you in my chest. I love, I love, and as I burn and go, Reborn into tomorrow's wild unrest. [Bridge] Who has not wished to fall in love so blind, To speak the words that I have uttered here! And like a child, to hide away and find, When she is loved above all others, dear. [Chorus] How wildly, deeply, I desire you so, How sacredly I keep you in my chest. I love, I love, and as I burn and go, Reborn into tomorrow's wild unrest. [Outro] Who has not wished... To fall in love so blind... When she is loved above all others, dear. [Fade Out]
