a place where I alone can be
I felt the softest touch, a whisper
a voice beckoning to me
“Come dance with me, my angel
come and step into the light”
you kissed my hand, so tenderly
a silken touch in the night
saw the love buried inside
you showed me, so patiently
that I had no need to hide
You touched my soul, so soothingly
calmed my darkest fears
stroked my face, kissed my brow
and held me through the tears
but I feel your hand in mine
the warmest touch, your inner strength
I feel our hearts entwine
Between us is a mystery, a magic
a love that spans this great divide
I know my dreams, my hopes
are right there by your side
for the first time, its true
my hands warm on your skin
a feeling so new
with a lover's gaze
they will be locked on you
my mind in a daze
I will know that it's real
this burning inside me
the aching love that I feel
the deepest embrace
my hands will be trembling
tears damp on my face
hear you speak my name
yet with all this newness
one thing remains the same
our hearts will entwine
when finally our souls meet
I will know you are mine
for the first time, its true
seems we met a lifetime ago
at last the wait is through.
each single tear that falls
is a poignant statement
of how my heart calls.
This tear says I love you,
you've been gone away too long
this one says I miss you
come back where you belong.
This tear fears the blackness
of the long and lonely night,
this one longs the feeling
of your arms around me tight.
This tear yearns for your kisses
the warmth of your embrace,
this one aches to see you
the smile upon your face.
So please don't mock the tears
that I cry when we're apart,
each one tells of the love
that lies deep in my heart.
give me this night to cherish before you go away.
smile sadly as you leave me to catch the morning flight.
with your every day commitments, I lie somewhere inbetween.
let my love create a world where you and I can be.
don't rouse me for the dawn - I can't bear to watch you go.
