Lyrics
Tonight the thrill is new
And you whisper, “I adore you”
Tonight the thrill is new
But tomorrow will it all be through?
Chorus
I hear you say, “I love you”
Each time you hold me fast
But I know this is too beautiful to last
You took my heart to heaven
Out of a lonely past
But I know this is too beautiful to last
Although you promise that forever
Love will ever linger on
I wake from dreams with dawn appearing
Always fearing you’ll be gone
That moment when you kissed me
Darling, the die was cast
I’m afraid this is too beautiful to last
