Lyrics
When night is deep amid my sleep
A dream begins to play
Lips to glass, then when we dance
I hear a voice inside me say
Chorus:
Amour, what is this I feel?
How can you be real?
Amour, what was my mistake?
Your kiss made me awake.
Instr.
bridge
I call your name I fall again
as through a metaphor
Through a crystal rose in candle glow
Will you come to me once more?
Instr.
Day flies past now home at last
As twilight finds it's way
A night to keep, one love to seek
Again, I see your face.
Amour, what is this I feel?
and how can you be real?
Amour, what was my mistake?
Your kiss made me awake.
