What is this strange new feeling
That I've never felt before
Could my heart's beating be revealing
Feelings unexplored
When first I saw you standing there
A sailor, prince, or king
With such a strong commanding air
You seemed to shine over everything

And when you raised your voice
It seemed to echo all around
You sang of all your joys
And of the love you haven't found
And hearing of your heart's desire
A stirring uncontrolled
Burst from within like fatal fire
Is this what they call
Love with all your soul?

How can a human know
What I don't know
How can a human soul
Enchant me so
Or can it be the joy
This man expresses
Faith he professes
Is a guarantee
He could learn to love
Someone like me

But as I hold you close like this
You calm my strange unease
If I should wake you
With a kiss
Would you lead me to
Such a love, oh please

How can a human know (how can a human know)
What I don't know
How can a human soul (how can a human soul)
Enchant me so
Or can it be the joy
This man expresses
Faith he professes
Is a guarantee
That he could learn to love
Someone like me

(How can a human)
(How can a human)
(How can a human be)
Ooh
Or can it be the joy
This man expresses
Faith he professes
Is a guarantee
That he could learn to love
Even me
