The look of love Is in your eyes A look your smile can’t disguise The look of love It’s saying so much more Than words could every say And what my heart has heard Well, it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you Feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you Now that I have found you [you’ve got]
The look of love It’s on your face A look that time can’t erase Be mine tonight Let this be just the start Of so many nights like this Let’s take a lover’s vow And then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you Feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you Now that I have found you Don’t ever go, don’t ever go I love you so
We were so in love, and high above We had a star to wish upon. wish And dreams come true, but not for me The trains and boats and planes Took you away, away from me
You are from another part of the world You had to go back a while and then You said you soon would return again I’m waiting here like I promised to I’m waiting here but where are you
Trains and boats and planes took you a way But every time I see them I pray And if my prayers can cross the sea The trains and the boats and planes Will bring you back, back home to me
