repeat chorus 2

1. When I look at you,

your face is so delightful 
Like a refreshing breeze 


2. It is always radiant,

even when it is obscured
By falling tears

 

​

Chorus 1
I am a warm embrace through the pain of love
Our relationship is steadfast for all seasons
A hope to be fulfilled

A hope to be fulfilled

 

​

3.

Your burdened heart throbs and throbs
Heavy in the rain

 

My love for you will endure
In the face of the steep cliff

 

​

Chorus 2

These eyes of mine see only you
Our relationship is steadfast for all seasons
A hope to be fulfilled
