Verse:
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 adventure, Touching your
hand my heart beats the faster.
All that I want in all of the world is you.
Chorus:
You are the promised kiss
of springtime,
That makes the lonely winter
seem 1ong.
You are the breathless hush of evening,
