It’s all too much, i’s all too much.

When I look into your eyes,
Your love is there for me.
And the more I go inside,
The more there is to see.

It’s all too much for me to take
The love that’s shining all around you.
Everywhere it’s what you make
For us to take it’s all too much.

Floating down the stream of time,
From life to life with me.
Makes no difference where you are
Or where you’d like to be.

It’s all too much for me to take
The love that’s shining all around here.
All the world is birthday cake
So take a piece, but not too much.

Sail me on a silver sun,
Where I know that I’m free.
Show me that I’m ev’rywhere
And get me home for tea.

It’s all too much for me to see
The love that’s shining all around here.
The more I learn the less I know
And what I do is only work.

It’s all too much for me to take
The love that’s shining all around here.
Everywhere it’s what you make
For us to take it’s all too much,
It’s all too much, it’s all too much.

With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue…
Too much, too much…
