Like a Lover

Like a lover, the river wind

Like a lover, the velvet moon

Let it be me, my love
Your smile so soft and drowsy

Oh, how I dream

I could be like the morning sun to you
Bring it into the endless days and nights
Upon your cheek, it lingers
As you let it play upon your face

Its light arrives on tiptoe

Gently taking you in its embrace
I could be like the river wind to you
How I envy your cup that knows your lips
Oh, how I dream
Slides and ripples its finger through your hair
And a table that feels your fingertips
I could be like the velvet moon to you
Let it be me, let me be your love
Without you
Oh, how I dream
Never having known a sweeter place
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
I could be like the morning sun
