The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly

The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The gentle wind softly touched the branches and leaves of the trees
Then you and I came wandering by
We casually walked by without a care in the world
And lost in a sigh were we
We became so enamored with each other that we let out a deep sigh
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
The ocean and fog delicately brushed the sandy shore
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
The moment when our two hearts beat as one was unforgettable and breathtaking
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You lovingly embraced me with open arms and held me close to your heart
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly
You gently kissed me and showed your affection for me in a tender and caring way
