Lost In Loveliness

What a thrill you are,

What a sight to see,

Something the eyes of mortals have no right to see.

Am I on the earth or in the sky?

Lost in loveliness am I.

When I look at you,

I forget myself,

I could go mad about you if I let myself.

Should I let myself, or pass you by?

Lost in loveliness am I.

I know I'm reaching for a star,

What's more, I know how dangerous you are.

If I were wise

I'd close my eyes

Or walk away and worship from afar.

In the lonely night,

You would haunt my heart,

And I would pray that someday you might want my heart.

And I'd have to live my whole life through

Lost in loveliness, the loveliness of you.
