Sweet one, fairer than the flowers
Never will I meet one sweeter than you
Would you turn away, or could you really learn to care
If I ever dare to say, "I love you"
If the nightingales could sing like you
They'd sing much sweeter than they do
For you've brought a new kind of love to me
If the sandman brought me dreams of you
I'd want to sleep my whole life through
For you've brought a new kind of love to me
Bridge
I know that you're the slave, I'm the queen
But still, you can understand
That underneath it all, I'm a maid, and you are only a man
I would work and slave the whole day through
If I could hurry home to you
For you brought a new kind of love to me
