Fateful Footsteps

From out of the past, they pursue me- I, his heart's nominee! I hear footsteps in the hall- I fear that I'm about to fall. The face of love is in my mind; His footsteps are not far behind. Irrepressible one, come, come. What corner of dreams are you from? I hear footsteps on the stair, And yes, my heart is aware. I hear the love songs in the night... I feel that I am in his sight. I hear footsteps closer still... Inside myself I feel the thrill! Softly does destiny arrive. Tenderly dreams come alive. I hear the knock upon the door- A shadow falls upon the floor! And slowly I lift my eyes- And my being intensifies!
