She closes her eyes and begins to see
All of those things she wishes could be
To be held so tight and held so dear
To know that love is always so near
To feel that kiss that reaches so deep
To know that her heart someone would keep
Safe and sound and free from all harm
Free to succumb to all his charm
But the dream will always disappear
And she’ll be left with nothing but fear
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
The flames consume all in its way
Making the night as bright as day
But the fire is nothing to fear
Though you feel the heat as it draws near
Watch as it dances in the sky
Finding such freedom there up high
Moving and swaying without a care
Breathing and sighing in the night air
Don’t live your life hiding in ice
These flames of love may not come twice
So in your heart let the fire burn
And in your soul let freedom return
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
Closing my eyes at your tender touch
Never before have I felt so much
As I do when you hold me near
And the future just seems so clear
But all that matters is here and now
Being lost in you, wondering how
Luck could have shifted in my favor
Giving so much for me to savor
So on this journey I go with you
To explore a world so bright and new
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
Her timid hand reaching out
Tremble with lingering doubt
But in the dark a sigh she hears
As she fights back a flood of tears
Fingers touch upon his skin
And all her fears fade within
Another sigh escapes his lips
And back to sleep she slowly slips
Into dreams of brighter days
Nightmares fade into the haze
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
