How long since I've spent a whole night in a twin bed with a stranger
His warm arms all around me?
How long since I've gazed into dark eyes that melted my soul down
To a place where it longs to be?
All of your history has little to do with your face
You're mainly a mystery with violins filling in space
You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out a rose,
from the bouquet in our hotel
And lay down beside me again and I watched the rose,
on the pillow as it fell
I sank and I slept in a twilight with only one care;
to know that when day broke and I woke, that you'd still be there,
you d still be there
The hours for once they passed slowly, unendingly by
Like a sweet breeze on a field
Your gentleness came down upon me and I guess I thanked you,
When you caused me to yield
We spoke not a sentence and took not a footstep beyond
Our two days together which seemingly soon would be gone,
Soon would be gone
Don't tell me of love everlasting and other sad dreams,
I don't want to hear
Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other
From a lifetime of cares
Because if love means forever, expecting nothing returned
Then I hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to learn,
ummmmmmm
Because you gave to me oh so many things it makes me wonder;
how they could belong to me?
And I gave you only my dark eyes that melted your soul down;
to a place where it longs to be
