Bah! Cloth ears, the lot of you! :-)

Here you go:

You turn, you turn, you choose to go,
Take the deepest breath, and so
Your breast heaves, a sight!

My voice can't hold the air -
Tearless, you despair -
Your gaze lingers in the night …

Shame colours your base lust,
Time stops - as it must!
As passion never dies …

But you blow a kiss at me
Which I sadly never see
It never touched my eyes …

You mean so much, my love
I would forsake the Heavens above
To share a thousand nights with you.

No Angel in those skies
Could match your wondrous sighs
No aspect up above, you see,
Could rival your beauty
Or usurp the joy I take from thee.
