Lyrics:
They say you can find love,
but in truth it is love who finds you!
No matter how you force things,
no matter what you do.
You may sit patiently waiting,
As months or years pass you by,
and then one day it happens,
A glance, a smile, you spy.
Yes, I want love to find me,
To tangle and entwine me,
And it will, I know it will in its own sweet time.
(Entire Opera duration: 2 hours)
