I can't remember what on earth
Made me fall in love with you
I just hope that it was worth
The yearning and the suff'ring too

What could possibly be seen
In a girl as plain as you
Maybe you're above the mean -
You could be beneath it, too

Cause I think I didn't fall
For the girl I see today
It is - yes, it sounds banal -
The idea that you portray

I keep falling for a dream
For your light that outdoes mine
Darkness still reveals your gleam
But my whole life ought to shine

I won't live in gloom and darkness
Just so you can brighten it
Didn't earn apotheosis -
Henceforth I'll be just as lit
