In view of the fact that there′s a rumor going 'round
It seems that I′d better state my case
I'd like to clear up the misunderstandings that surround
Our latest excursions into space
Why, you may ask, do I still try
And penetrate beyond the endless sky
Up high?
Let me look into your eyes, José
Count the stars along the Milky Way
I won't leave you, not tonight, José
If you try to love me, try to love me
Show me you do, the way that I love you
In spite of the difficulties met with at the start
The probe will be carried out as planned
The problem is now the mere question of the human heart
And what sort of stresses can withstand
When, you may ask, will all this end?
Well, I can′t say, I really comprehend
′Prehend
Let me look into your eyes, José
Count the stars along the Milky Way
I won't leave you, not tonight, José
If you try to love me, try to love me
Show me you do, the way that I love
When I look into your eyes, José
The world of man is very far away
Stay with me and let me hear you say
That you′ll try to love me, try to love me
Show me you do, the way that I love you
