lost in loveliness

what a thrill you are

what a sight to see

something the eyes of mortals have no right to see

am i on the earth or in the sky?

lost in loveliness am i

when i look at you

i forget myself

i could go mad about you if i let myself

should i let myself or pass you by?

lost in loveliness am i

i know i'm reaching for a star

what's more; i know how dangerous you are

if i were wise

i'd close my eyes

or walk away and worship from afar

in the lonely night

you would haunt my heart

and i would pray that someday you might want my heart

and i'd have to live my whole life through

lost in loveliness

the loveliness of you
