Don't you go away
C'mon get close to me
The hassles of the day
Have made a real mess of me
The moon is in the sky
And the stars are out tonight
They shimmer in the pools of your eyes
In the moonlight
You're so nice to touch
Lovely to look at
Touch, touch
In the tradition of love
Hear the summer breeze
All the nighttime's listening
Your eyes are sparkling now
And their oceans glistening
Sail upon a sea
Of love filling the room
Lilacs seem to be
Everywhere with their perfume
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
You can in a breath
Blow the storm clouds out the sky
A hurricane retreats
In the blinking of your eye
A flame within my heart
Is ignited by your voice
C'mon baby now
Let's make love our final choice
Ooh you're nice to touch
Lovely to look at
Touch, touch
In the tradition of love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Shri gouranga
Jaya gouranga
