<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A
moment of mystic power</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Is
all it took to fall in love with you</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just
a moment of chaste knowing</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And
Love was upon me with force</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If
told in a book it would not be believed</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yet
fantasy is filled with similar feelings</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It
is no small wonder at all</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">That
my mind is always attached to yours</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There
is no definitive expounding to illustrate</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">What
we feel in the depth of wisdom</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And
magical tenderness of sensibility</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Feelings
shared are feelings owned</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">By
hearts always synchronized, harmonious</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In
tune with one another's joy and pain</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ecstasy
is profoundly real</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I
will always be filled with awe</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">For
that initial moment of mystic power</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">That
has since been felt many times over</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But
that initial moment will never be taken for granted</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">By
me</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">No
matter where life takes us we will always have</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">That
wonderful moment of first stirring</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thoughts

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Its
residue will no more flow from lips ready, moist</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Saw
the mighty oak by a digressing brook</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">For

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I
see the lunar glow swaying creamily in a sea of velvet black</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bringing

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And
arms that will now lay idle in the very same moonlight</span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4700b8;"><span style="font-family: Vijaya, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">That

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
