CI heard about a song that fills your heart with hapAmpiness
A special kind of Csong that only lovers Gknow
I'm told that meloFdy will take away the lConeliness
Oh how does Fit go, oGh how does it Cgo
CBefore I hear that song, I guess better find sAmomeone
Someone whose waCrm caress can make me all aG-glow
I hope I find her sFoon, I long to hear that magCic tune
Oh how does Fit go, oh Ghow does it Cgo
