Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sweet little words, meant for silence, not talk

Young heart for love, not heartache

Dark hair for catching the wind

Not to veil the sight of a cold world

[Verse 2]

Kiss while your lips are still red

While he's still silent, rest

While bosom is still untouched

Unveiled, hold another hand

While the hand's still without a tool

Drown into eyes while they're still blind

Love while the night still hides the withering dawn

[Verse 3]

First day of love never comes back

A passionate hour's never a wasted one

The violin, the poet's hand

Every thawing heart plays your theme with care

[Verse 4]

Kiss while your lips are still red

While he's still silent, rest

While bosom is still untouched

Unveiled, hold another hand

While the hand's still without a tool

Drown into eyes while they're still blind

Love while the night still hides the withering dawn

[Verse 5]

Whoa

Kiss while your lips are still red

While he's still silent, rest

While bosom is still untouched

Unveiled, hold another hand

While the hand's still without a tool

Drown into eyes while they're still blind

Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
