Don't leave me in the dark tonight
 The sun's turned down, the moon is low
 And I know secrets you don't know

 Do you hear the wind whispering
 "You're the one I love"
 The summer breeze tells the trees
 I'm the one, because
 You're my sweet girl

 Hold me now in this sweet life
 I will take you for my wife
 We can walk the aisle in this city park
 And I will offer you my heart

 Married by a firefly
 They're coming back, you know
 And I'm the man who knows he can
 Provide an afterglow
 For you, my sweet girl
 Cause you're my sweet girl

 Do, do, do....

 My sweet girl, do you know you are
 My lovely dream, my little star
 In a blanket made of earth and sky
 Curled up with my sweetie pie

 The love we make, it merely takes
 Our breath out of the air
 We kiss and then we breath again
 The wind blows through your hair
 It's whispering, "You're my sweet girl"
 Can you hear it? It's saying, "You're my sweet girl"
 You're my sweet girl

 Do, do, do...
