I was a simpleton roaming through books
Reading of Venus and Mars
You taught me more with one of your looks
The secrets in this world abound

The mountains kiss the big blue sky
The breezes kiss every tree
For nature has its mate to love
The world was planned it should be

Each moonbeam kisses the night time
The waves caress the sea
But what is all this kissing worth
If you're not kissing me

The mountains kiss the big blue sky
The breezes kiss every tree
For nature has a mate to love
The world was planned it should be

Each moonbeam kisses the night time
The waves caress the sea
But what is all this kissing worth
If you're not kissing me
