verse 1:

I'm just a woman that loved a man,
But our house of love was built on sand;
While it lasted,
Ah! it was grand,
My love:
We lived and loved,
Our day is through,
But each night in dreams
It's started anew,
He comes to me as he used to do,
My love:

chorus 1:

And then he holds my hand, (Mm____)
And then I understand (Mm____)
His eyes afire with one desire,
Then a heavenly kiss,
Could I resist?
And then he dims the light, (Mm____)
And then he (Mm____)
(Mm____) (Whistle____)
He take me to Paradise.

repeat chorus 1

verse2:

I'm just a woman that's lost her man,
I can't have him so I'll do what I can
To get another,
Another man to love:
He may not be
Just the the thing,
He may be a beggar,
He might be a king;
He might be you,
You or you,
I'll love him:

chorus 2:

If you will hold my hand, (Mm____)
Then I will understand (Mm____)
With eyes afire I'll know your desire,
Then a heavenly kiss,
I won't resist:
Then you will dim the light, (Mm____)
Then you will (Mm____)
(Mm____) (Whistle____)
I'll take you to Paradise.

repeat chorus 2
