When you look at me and smile,
My heart stops for a while,
When it starts again I am not the same man,
For all my problems just got up and ran.

Leaving me alone with you,
No matter who’s around,
No matter the background,
Feels like it’s just us two.

This is when starts the play,
At first I’m mute, unable to say,
Afraid that any sound, any move I do,
Might make you vanish without ado.

When I’m about to apologize,
Everything turns out just fine,
Because I notice through your eyes,
Your soul waving to mine.

My head is in turmoil,
My heart out of control,
All my defenses you foil,
Yes, I want to enroll!

Join our army of two,
Guarding a country made for us,
For our hopes and dreams too,
Where children can grow without fuss.

When your voice reaches me,
It goes right through my being,
Millions of crystals singing,
An anthem just for me.

A concert in a giant hall,
An event remembered by all,
Even amongst the crowd,
I feel singled out.

How can I interrupt your discourse?
I am so entranced that I fail to notice,
When it is my turn to converse,
I awake near a precipice.

When I’m about to apologize,
Everything turns out just fine,
Because I notice through your eyes,
Your soul waving to mine.

My head is in turmoil,
My heart out of control,
All my defenses you foil,
Yes, I want to enroll!

Join our army of two,
Guarding a country made for us,
For our hopes and dreams too,
Where children can grow without fuss.

When I see you coming towards me,
I feel as if happiness is approaching,
My breathing accelerates greatly,
I can feel my hands shaking.

I smile and look down apprehensive,
Afraid you will turn around and desist,
But I look up again unable to resist,
Fighting the need to be so defensive.

You are so beautiful,
That I feel unworthy,
With such an angel, to be so lucky,
I can’t move, I am too fearful.

When I’m about to apologize,
Everything turns out just fine,
Because I notice through your eyes,
Your soul waving to mine.

My head is in turmoil,
My heart out of control,
All my defenses you foil,
Yes, I want to enroll!

Join our army of two,
Guarding a country made for us,
For our hopes and dreams too,
Where children can grow without fuss.

Please come over here,
I want to be near you.
Please look at me and smile,
I am addicted to you.
Please talk to me,
I can’t get enough of you.
Come over here,
Look at me and smile,
Talk to me,
I feel empty without you!
