I was just a curly-haired mountain boy On my way Pa**ing thru I heard a voice Whisper good evening I turned to a shadow And saw her there So all alone She had those sad china eyes That sang each time she smiled Ah, but the song It seemed to linger So long it deepened My love for her Until she called me near
And then we waltzed to our heart beat All around The sea was swaying The breeze was praying Never to leave her alone Alone Oh, the time just slipped on by And with the time So did our love Ah, her every move Just like a fever Just like a fever Burnin' inside would not leave me
