as the stars hang bright over my head
I can hear a breeze sing in the willow
all the words of love we've said
and my heart pounds strong
under the covers
and the moon casts long shadows ahead
but I'm in a song only for lovers
in the cool dark night instead

I can hear each promise we've never broken
and each heartfelt moment
we'd ever share
calling somehow
calling someway
I will always be there

And I wonder if just as they told me
all the old cliches really come true
then I feel two arms reaching to hold me
and I'm lost and found and new
in the cool dark night with you
