Verse 1:

I don't want to love you

At least not the way you're thinking

I don't want to climb the stairs up to your room

'cause up there in the darkness

The love that we'd reach for

Would disappear at dawn with the fading moon



Chorus:

And in the light of love

You'll see how long it takes for love to be

In the light of love

I'll wait to have you and you'll wait to have me



Verse 2:

I have lonely sunsets

Where my heart sinks into dusk

And I want someone to hold me through the night

I know that you are willing

But if it's not forever

I just can't walk away from what is right



Repeat chorus



Bridge:

And he makes it shine down from above

For man and wife to share his love



Repeat chorus
