My royal day can be a royal bore
It leaves me colder than a basement floor
The only moment I keep waiting for

You seem to bring faraway spring near me
I'm always in full bloom
When you're in the room
For ev'ry night at seven, ev'ry time the same thing happens
I fall once again in love, but only with you
