You are beautiful Soft and shy You are the girl whose eyes met mind Just as your boat sailed by This I know of you Nothing more You are the girl whose eyes met mine Passing the river shore You are the girl whose laugh I heard Silver and soft and bright Soft as the fall of lotus leaves Brushing the air of night While your flower boat Sailed away Gently your eyes looked back on mine Clearly you heard me say You are the girl I will love someday While your flower boat Sailed away Gently your eyes looked back on mine Clearly you heard me say You are the girl I will love someday
