The world is lyrical
|
Because a miracle
|
Has brought my lover to me
|
Though she's some other place, her face I see
|
At night I creep in bed
|
And never sleep in bed
|
But look above in the air
|
And to my greatest joy, my love is there
|
She dances overhead
|
On the ceiling near my bed
|
In my sight
|
All through the night
|
|
I try to hide in vain
|
Underneath my counterpane
|
But there's my love
|
Up there above
|
I whisper, "go away, my lover
|
It's not fair"
|
But I'm so grateful to discover
|
That she's still there
|
I love my ceiling more
|
Since it is a dancing floor
|
Just for my love
|
