Lyrics
If our lips should meet Innamorata
Kiss me, kiss me sweet Innamorata
Hold me close and say you’re mine
With a love as warm as wine
I’m at heaven’s door Innamorata
Want you more and more Innamorata
You’re a symphony, the very beautiful sonanta, my Innamorata
Say that you’re my sweetheart, my love
You’re a symphony, the very beautiful sonanta, my Innamorata
Say that you’re my sweetheart, my one and only sweetheart
Say that you’re my sweetheart, my love
