A simple touch that can take my breath
And give all my doubts a bitter death
Longing for the feel of your skin
Silently begging deep within
The trace of your fingers upon my arm
And all of my defenses you disarm
The taste of your lips upon my own
Sweeter than anything that I’ve known
But though your love has been my salvation
I fear it may yet be my damnation
So prove me wrong and hold me near
Show me I have nothing to fear
Look deep now within these eyes
All I feel I can’t disguise
And I see it in your eyes too
Such passion, such love, shining through
There’s no words that I can say
That a kiss would not convey
So let the silence linger on
And hold me tight until the dawn
Rain drips down, cleansing the air
Moving slowly and with care
Falling softly upon their skin
Others head for shelter within
Yet there they stand, the only two
Each other’s eyes their only view
Lost in a moment, no notice of
The rain that’s falling so high above
The clouds subside and the sun shines down
And on her head glows a glistening crown
How slowly the clock seems to tick
And yet my pulse races so quick
To be with you is all I want
But still this clock just seems to taunt
Each moment passing slowly by
Leaving me here to wonder why
Time goes so fast when you’re with me
When slow’s what I want it to be
But time will pass as it sees fit
And I’ll take every little bit
Words unspoken as their eyes meet
Kisses so soft that taste so sweet
Lingering there a moment more
Causing a shiver to her core
A gentle stroke across her cheek
And she is left trembling and weak
Holding her close, this gem so rare
Fingers tangled within her hair
See in her eyes a love so deep
That is now his to hold and keep
Waking slowly to the morning light
And greeted by such a pleasant sight
As you lay sleeping so peacefully
Finding your arms wrapped tight around me
Thinking this could be heaven on earth
And you may never know what it’s worth
To have you at last by my side
Never again have a need to hide
She doesn’t know what the future may bring
Is it poison or love in that sharp sting?
Her strength seems gone and yet it remains
As the toxin courses through her veins
Heart beating faster every day
Not even slowing as she lay
Her heavy head down upon his chest
And closing her eyes for a brief rest
Her heart finally quiets with his touch
To that peace he brings she’ll forever clutch
Hands gently brushing the hair from my face
And everything stands still in time and space
Fingers running slowly down my arm
And all my defenses you disarm
I melt into you as you pull me tighter
You kiss me so deep and my heart grows lighter
And all the world seems to just disappear
The beating of our hearts is all I hear
Your fingers tracing slowly on my skin
The sweetest thought that haunts me deep within
And your lips gently brushing against mine
I’ve never found anything so divine
Memories of your words in my ear
Those whispers I’m so longing to hear
Time ticks slowly as I patiently wait
For the distance between us to give way
Hold me tight, never let me go
And let’s give the whole world a show
Let’s show them how the craziest plans
Can make so much sense in loving hands
Let them tell us we’re fools to even try
And that in the end we will only cry
But the tears we shed will be in joy
And the love we feel they can’t destroy
Together we will always overcome
And only to our hearts will we succumb
