I was just a curly-haired mountain boy   On my way   Passing thru I heard a voice   Whisper good evening   I turned to a shadow   And saw her there   So all alone   She had those sad china eyes   That sang each time she smiled   Ah, but the song   It seemed to linger   So long it deepened   My love for her   Until she called me near   And then we waltzed to our heart beat   All around   The sea was swaying   The breeze was praying   Never to leave her alone   Alone   Oh, the time just slipped on by   And with the time   So did our love   Ah, her every move   Just like a fever   Just like a fever   Burnin' inside would not leave me
