The Dull Flame Of Desire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I love your eyes, my dear
Their splendid, sparkling fire
When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance
Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there's a charm that is greater still
When my love's eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passions kiss
And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
I love your eyes, my dear
Their splendid, sparkling fire
When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance
Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there's a charm that is greater still
When my love's eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passions kiss
And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
Dull flame
I see the dull flame of desire
I see the dull flame
I love your eyes, my dear
Their splendid, sparkling fire
When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance
Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there's a charm that is greater still
When my love's eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passions kiss
And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
Through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
Dull flame
I see the full flame of
I see the dull flame
I love your eyes, my dear
Their splendid, sparkling fire
When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance
Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there's a charm that is greater still
When my love's eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passions kiss
Through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
