Love me, just a little
The way you love a child
The way that suits me
Love me
Here we're used to little things...
...quiet and subtle affections...
...but boundless as the sky and deep as the sea
Let me kiss those hands I love
My fragile Butterfly, so well named
I heard that overseas, if a butterfly falls into the hands of man...
...it's pierced with a pin...
...and fixed to a board
There’s a bit of truth in that, and do you know why?
To stop it flying away again
I hold you, fluttering in my grasp. You're mine
- For ever - Come to me
Cast out the fear you feel in your heart
It's a peaceful night. Look, the whole world's asleep
- Soft night - Come to me
I've never seen the stars look so lovely
Come, it's a peaceful night
Look, the whole world's asleep
Soft night. I've never seen the stars look so lovely
Each star is twinkling like an eye
...looking down from the heavens, over the shores, over the sea
Quivering, I hold you
- The heavens are smiling - Look: the whole world’s asleep
Ecstatic with love, the heavens are smiling
