[Verse]
She writes me short lines
And I respond with scrolls
Her gestures are restrained
And mine are overflowing
She invites me to breakfast
I invite her to a housewarming
She will never be mine
Maybe she'll be at my side for a bit
And even that's not for certain
[Chorus]
How sweet and bitter the pain is
Only with him am I willing to fall in love
With shining eyes, with a hungry smile
I dance the strange dance of the heart
[Verse]
All day I keep remembering
How cold we were in the streets of Paris
We hugged for long, sweet minutes
I woke up, and it ended again
But today, today I go out
Today I take action
Someone threw me a life saver
And said, "love is a contagious thing"
[Chorus]
How sweet and bitter the pain is
Only with him am I willing to fall in love
With shining eyes, with a hungry smile
I dance the strange dance of the heart
[Verse}
She writes me short lines
And I respond with scrolls
Her gestures are restrained
And mine are overflowing
She invites me to be careful
I invite her to stay
She arrives exactly on time
And for a moment all becomes possible
[Chorus]
How sweet and bitter the pain is
Only with him am I willing to fall in love
With shining eyes, with a hungry smile
I dance the strange dance of the heart
