Lyrics
I’m walking on the air, dear
For life is fair, dear, to lovers
I’m in the seventh heaven
There’s more than seven, my heart discovers
In this sweet, improbable and unreal world
Finding you has given me my ideal world
Burthen
Why do I love you? Why do you love me?
Why should there be two happy as we?
Can you see the why or wherefore
I should be the one you care for?
You’re a lucky boy, I am lucky too
All our dreams of joy seem to come true
Maybe that’s because you love me
Maybe that’s why I love you
