Does it fall from stars above? (spoken mysteriously in a cockney accent) Is it underneath the willow tree that I’ve been dreaming of? Wind’s in the East, there’s a mist comin’ in. Who can say where she may hide? Like something is brewing, about to begin. Must I travel far and wide? (getting excited) Can’t put me finger on what lies in store, Til I am beside the someone who I can mean something to, But I feel what’s to ‘appen all ‘appened before! Where? Where is love? .
