If we could keep this spark of new love
Throughout the years to come
How wonderful our lives would be
How happy we would be.
She takes you to her room - you're overjoyed
That she has taken notice of you,
You've been lonely a long long time.
Nothing's too much trouble - you're very much in love.
Her first kiss brings tears of a long for dream come true.
Additional lyrics not used in the video which was a draft.
She seats you down, the coffee's on, she treats you tenderly, thoughtfully
You're intoxicated with love's tender tranquillity.
You're heart is filled with joy.
You have a lot to talk about, there's a fluent intercourse
of words and time enough for tenderness.
Laughter's overflowing but Champagne isn't needed
And nothing's too much trouble. Interest is stimulated.
If this feeling could last every time that I were to meet you,
How wonderful our lives could be, how blessed we would be.
To cast off careworn coats of loneliness.
To save each other from the drowning seas we're in.
If we could keep this spark of new love
throughout the years to come
How wonderful our lives would be
How blessed we would be.

A group of us bohemian poets / lyricists used to meet up at the Kongoni Café in the centre of Coventry. They made real coffee there - you could smell the beas as you approached. We went back to Steve Quinn's pad February 1973 - Steve played I Will by the Beatles off the White Album - I went home and wrote this - unfinished but here it is.
