Lyrics:
Time and again I've longed for adventure
 Something to make my heart beat the faster
 What did I long for? I never really knew
 Finding your love I've found my adventureÂ
 Touching your hand, my heart beats the fasterÂ
 All that I want in all of this world is youÂ
Â
[Chorus:]Â
 You are the promised kiss of springtimeÂ
 That makes the lonely winter seem longÂ
 You are the breathless hush of eveningÂ
 That trembles on the brink of a lovely song
 You are the angel glow that lights a star
 The dearest things I know are what you areÂ
 Some day my happy arms will hold youÂ
 And some day I'll know that moment divine
 When all the things you are, are mine
