Biography	My name is Rogério Afonso and I come from Lisbon, Portugal. I was born in France in the distant 1977, the year the French-Portuguese Marie Myriam won. I have always liked Eurovision since I can remember, and this song was a demo made to compete in Eurovision, albeit with no luck :( Well, the trick is to keep trying. I always liked catchy tunes and specially uptempo ones, although I can pen a balad from time to time. I have been away from homecomposed for some time now, a contest with some very good surprises songwise, but I am coming back again this year :)
Lyrics	This love... keeps burning in my heart tenderly Fading the shadow in our destiny ‘Cause there are golden rays of sun... in the light of your eyes I want to show... how much I cherish you deep in my heart And by your side... my life will never fade and fall apart I promise that... no sorrow will make us feel sad and blue Across the sky... I’ll turn the stars into poems for you Touch me... and make me feel this love forever Until the end of our lives This love... keeps burning in my heart tenderly Don’t waste this chance to make it, our destiny, for you and me I will never let you go away This love... keeps burning in my heart tenderly Don’t waste this chance and take it, in harmony, just you and me I will never let you go away So please stay And thus I’ll wait... for the next comet to light up the sky Wings from above... will come to hold us and take us so high Touch me... and make me feel this love forever Until the end of our lives This love... keeps burning in my heart tenderly Don’t waste this chance and take it, our destiny, for you and me I will never let you go away
