And my heart is calling you

Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise
My beloved, the world eagerly anticipates the appearance of the sun
Ev'ry rose is covered with dew
The morning dew has gently settled onto each and every rose
And while the world is waiting for the sunrise
As nature and all creation waits in anticipation for the sun's arrival
And my heart is calling you
My soul yearns for your presence and affection
The thrush on high his sleepy mate is calling
The bird in the trees is softly inviting its partner to awaken
And my heart is calling you
In the same way, my heart desires to be near you
