Long, long, before the time
Time of love
You were there

Yet, long, before that time
I warned my heart
Always beware

I'd closed my eyes and lived alone
For till that time
Love was unknown

Then, then, you came to me
And kissed my eyes
That I might see
You brought me warmth
You brought me Spring
And gave my heart
The strength to sing

No, no, the time is here
The time of love
For you are near

No, no, the time is here
The time of love
For you are near
