His warm arms all around me?
 How long since I've gazed into dark eyes that melted my soul down
 To a place where it longs to be?
 All of your history has little to do with your face
 You're mainly a mystery with violins filling in space

 You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out a rose
 From the bouquet in our hotel
 And lay down beside me again and I watched the rose
 On the pillow where it fell
 I sank and I slept in a twilight with only one care
 To know that when day broke and I woke that you'd still be there

 The hours for once they passed slowly, unendingly by
 Like a sweet breeze on a field
 Your gentleness came down upon me and I guess I thanked you
 When you caused me to yield
 We spoke not a sentence and took not a footstep beyond
 Our two days together which seemingly soon would be gone

 Don't tell me of love everlasting and other sad dreams
 I don't want to hear
 Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other
 From a lifetime of cares
 Because if love means forever, expecting nothing returned
 Then I hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to learn

 Because you gave to me oh so many things it makes me wonder
 How they could belong to me
 And I gave you only my dark eyes that melted your soul down
 To a place where it longs to be
