Lyrics
Maile Lei
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.
You can only explain the pain when you've got it
The fountain of spring evergreen
To be holding another who needs you to linger
Looking for something you've seen
Round and round the world I've been travelling
Lying with you girl and I've finally been
Into the rarefied ringside of Heaven
Looking for something I've seen
In your eyes
Jacqueline
You are my fantasy
Queen of the May
Married in paradise
Maile Lei
I gave you my heart 'cause there wasn't an option
You gave me a world when I hadn't a bean
Now all that I need girl is you here forever
Looking for something I've seen
You gave me a dream I thought I'd foresaken
And time is a travel machine
To get me across onto your side of Heaven
Looking for something I've seen
In your eyes
Jacqueline
