Uto m,
I sometimes see a simple dream,
in which you are my valentine,
[the one I never had]
It's crazier, I know, than it may seem,
I just wish I could make you mine
Uto m,
I think about you all day and night,
alseep or awake, busy or at ease,
thoughts of you is my lifeline,
I do not care if it's wrong or right,
[because you belong to another]
yet, I wish I could make you mine
Uto m,
your every word, they get me high,
they're sweeter than any Italian wine.
Whenever I look up in the sky,
and see stars bright like your smile, I sigh,
and wish I could make you mine.
Uto m,
I do not intend to hurt him sore,
by jail breaking you before he's come:
All I want for you is an everlasting smile,
and that you always, with him, stay fine
Uto m,
I'll cherish this moment, it's worthwhile,
but if haply, he ceases to be,
I'd be first to come knocking before dawn,
and gladly make you mine
