Intro :
H ow long since I've spent a w hole night in a twin bed with a s tranger
His warm arms all ar ound me?
H ow long since I've gazed into d ark eyes that melted my s oul down
To a place where it l ongs to be?
A ll of your history has little to do with your f ace
You're m ainly a mystery with violins filling in s pace
You s tood in the nude by the m irror and picked out a r ose
from the bouquet in our ho tel
And l ay down beside me ag ain and I watched the r ose
on the pillow as it f ell
I sank and I slept in a twilight with only one c are;
to k now that when day broke and I woke that you'd still be t here
you d still be t here
The h ours for once they passed s lowly unendingly b y
Like a sweet breeze on a f ield
Your g entleness came down u pon me and I guess I t hanked you
When you caused me to y ield
We s poke not a sentence and took not a footstep bey ond
Our t wo days together which seemingly soon would be g one
Soon would be g one
Don't t ell me of love everl asting and other sad d reams
I don't want to h ear
Just t ell me of passionate s trangers who rescue each o ther
From a lifetime of c ares
Bec ause if love means forever expecting nothing ret urned
Then I h ope I'll be given another whole lifetime to l earn
ummmmmmm
Bec ause you gave to me oh so m any things it makes me w onder;
how they could bel ong to me?
And I gave you only my d ark eyes that melted your s oul down;
to a place where it l ongs to be
