Bird of paradise

(Text: C-W. Rasch, Musik: J. Lindgren)

 

When the day is slowly coming to an end,
she is gently folding up her wings.
Her beauty is a blinding light
and there's nothing brighter than the love…
and joy she brings.

The air is full of magic around twilight time
fruits of passion lie inside her nest.
Tonight at sundown I'm invited 
to become her guest.

Underneath the starry sky
colors flash before my eyes,
I have found the bird of paradise
And before the night is through
all my wishes will come true,
together with my bird of paradise.

There's a warm sensation in her every move,
in every little thing she does to me.
I wait for her to open up her wings…  to set me free

Underneath the starry sky
colors flash before my eyes,
I have found the bird of paradise
And before the night is through
all my wishes will come true,
together with my bird of paradise

Oh, how I wish that I could make her stay…

Underneath the starry sky
colors flash before my eyes
I have found the bird of paradise
And before the night is through
all my wishes will come true,
together with my bird of paradise

But I can't make her stay, 
tomorrow she will fly away…
fly away…
