Through years of endless springs
The murmur of a brook at eventide
That ripples through a nook where two lovers hide
That great symphonic theme

She's everything on this earth to me
That great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight
And not a dream
My heart and i agree
She's everything on this earth to me

The song a robin sings
The sweet melody that a robin sings
Through years of endless springs
Throughout eternity, with each passing spring
The murmur of a brook at eventide
The gentle sound of a brook at the end of the day
