Lyric

For heaven's sake, let's fall in love

It's no mistake to call it love

An angel's holding hands with me

How heavenly heaven can be

Here is romance for us to try

Here is the chance we can't deny

While heaven's giving us a break

Let's fall in love for heaven's sake

Don't say a word, my darling

Don't break a spell like this

Just hold me tight, we're alone in the night

And heaven is here with a kiss

This pair of eyes can see a star

So paradise can't be so far

Since heaven's what we're dreaming of

For heaven's sake, let's fall in love

Don't say a word, my darling

Don't break a spell like this

Just hold me tight, we're alone in the night

And heaven is here with a kiss

This pair of eyes can see a star

So paradise can't be so far

Since heaven's what we're dreaming of

For heavens sake, let's fall in love

- It's already the end -
