So softly to me
I don't hear a call at all
I hear a rhapsody
And when your sparkling eyes
Are smiling at me
Then soft through the starlit skies
My days are so blue
When you're away
My heart longs for you
So won't you stay
My darling hold me tight
And whisper to me
Then soft through a starry night
I'll hear a rhapsody

And when I hear you call
When I hear your voice calling out to me,
So softly to me
In a gentle and tender manner,
I don't hear a call at all
I don't just hear a voice, rather,
I hear a rhapsody
I hear a beautiful and majestic musical piece
And when your sparkling eyes
When I look deeply into your shining eyes,
Are smiling at me
When they light up and convey joy to me,
Then soft through the starlit skies
It feels like the music is dancing softly between the glittering stars,
I hear a rhapsody
And I am lost in the dreamy euphoria of the melody.
My days are so blue
The days without you seem so gloomy and somber,
When you're away
When you are not near me,
My heart longs for you
My heart has an overwhelming desire for your presence
So won't you stay
Please don't leave and stay with me
My darling hold me tight
My beloved, take me in your arms and clasp me firmly,
And whisper to me
And with a soft and loving voice, speak to me,
Then soft through a starry night
In this tranquil and glowing night, under the shimmering stars,
I'll hear a rhapsody
I will be enveloped in the enchanting and magical melody.
