Take my heart, cherie
Soaked with love
Though just promise me
That you won't ring it out
And leave it to perish
In the heat of the drought
You will hear it
It goes
Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat . . .
For you
It goes
Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat . . .
For you,
For you, cherie
Only for you.
Listen closely and
Lean your ear to my bosom
Like ebb tides on sand
Or wind through trees
You will hear its sough
Echo from peaks to seas
Still, you can hear it
It beats
Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat . . .
For you
It beats
Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat . . .
For you,
For you, cherie
It beats only for you.
