Strands of light upon a bedroom floor
Change the night through an open door
I'm awake but this not my home
For the first time I'm not alone
Reaching out I touch another skin
Breathing out as he is breathing in
Deep inside I feel my soul aflame
Can my life ever be the same
I should have told him
I'd do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not forget
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
Another planet
Close together in the afterglow
I remember how his loving flow
Turned the key into another world
Made a woman of a simple girl
Daylight comes as we both know it must
Soon my fantasy will turn to dust
But I would give him anything he asked
If my first love could be my last
I should have told him
I'd do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not regret
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
Change the night through an open door
I'm awake but this not my home
For the first time I'm not alone
Breathing out as he is breathing in
Deep inside I feel my soul aflame
Can my life ever be the same
I'd do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not forget
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
Another planet
I remember how his loving flow
Turned the key into another world
Made a woman of a simple girl
Soon my fantasy will turn to dust
But I would give him anything he asked
If my first love could be my last
I'd do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not regret
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet

For years now, every time I heard the name Kiki Dee on the radio, they were playing her duet with Elton John, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". Every time I searched for Kiki Dee (longing to hear "Amoureuse" again), I came up with the same. As songs go, DGBMH is OK, but it's light fluff.
"Amoureuse", on the other hand, is the real thing:strong, passionate, FELT! I really don't know why the radio stopped playing it, but am thrilled to be able to hear it - after all these years - on YouTube, while reading the lyrics here in another window.
Thanks for uploading this. A beautiful song. A classic.
Somebody help me, please. What does it mean to "feel the rainfall of another planet"?

This came out when I was a young woman and a song that so obviously addressed a girl losing her virginity was amazing! It's just a beautiful song with heartfelt lyrics. Still love it even after all these years.
Valjeang, a somewhat belated response to your comments.
I am a (straight} male probably only a few short years older than yourself and I have loved Kiki Dee's version of Amoureuse (the only one I know) since it first came out in 1973. As a bit of a late starter with the opposite sex, I could relate to virtually every line - I don't need to read the words, I've known them for 45 years.
The song was written at a time when for probably most women - and more than a few men - losing your virginity was still a major life event and - at least for a few weeks after - you felt so much more confident and sure yourself and that the world really was your oyster. Sadly that is somewhat less true today.
Amoureuse - lyrically and musically - is a beautiful song that deserved to get higher than 13 in the charts and I'm disappointed that (before mine) there are only two comments - a sign of the times perhaps. If you've ever wondered how the song came into existence, you might like to look it up on Wikipedia.
