When you meet a boy That you like a lot And you fall in love But he loves you not If a flame should start When he holds you near Better keep your heart Out of danger dear For the way of love

Will you ever win? All your life you've never seen A woman taken by the wind Would you stay if she promised you heaven? Taken by the sky Dreams unwind Love's a state of mind
