Kabhie Kabhie, Sometimes…

Sometimes, the depths of my heart speak to me
And I get the feeling that you were created just for me
And were brought down from your dwelling amid the stars
To grace this earth for me alone and simply for me

Sometimes, the depths of my heart speak to me
And I get the feeling that this body, these eyes, are a treasure all mine
The shade beneath your flowing tresses my shelter from life’s storms
These inviting lips and these comforting arms, a gift divine

Sometimes, the depths of my heart speak to me
And in the faint echo I hear wedding vows as I look wonderstruck into your face
I dream of myself then lifting your bridal veil at night
And you shyly surrendering to my beckoning embrace

Sometimes, the depths of my heart speak to me
And I imagine that your love will last past eternity
And forever will you cast on me your loving gaze
How do I ever accept that it was never meant to be

Sometimes from the depths of this unforgetting heart, these feelings overflow
And demand to be heard, they just won’t take a no
As much as I try, to their voice I cannot turn a deaf ear
So, as they talk, I listen to this ballad and shed a silent tear
