Beyond the far cloud in the vast sky
I built you a palace of stars so high
Where your eyes lighten the universe
And spread love hearts can't express
Let's live a legendary love with no end
Help me fix a broken heart and mend
A heart waiting for you before life
Tasting every pain and endless strife
Looking into your eyes pushes life into my vein
Like a desertthat first tastes drops of rain
Your hair is like waves of a very calm sea
Into my soul your loveis a deep rooted tree
I will always water our love tree with my soul
Each leaf carrying our names and will never fall
Beyond the far cloud I have been waiting
For two souls that will always be mating
You shone like a bright sun ending my night
You will be always there in front of my sight
Away from you I no longer exist
Between your arms I find my rest
With you life smiles, stars dance and sing
I owe you the happiness you always bring
Beyond the far cloud I offer you my heart
It is just the beginning, it is a simple start
Will you accept the present my dear
And end my pain, suffering and fear?
Waiting for you beyond the far cloud
My heart is calling your name aloud
Don't be late, don't let my heart down
Into your sea, I am always ready to drown
