Love Song To A Stranger
How long since I've spent a whole night in a twin bed with a strangerHis warm arms all around me?How long since I've gazed into dark eyes that melted my soul downTo a place where it longs to be?All of your history has little to do with your faceYou're mainly a mystery with violins filling in space
You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out a roseFrom the bouquet in our hotelAnd lay down beside me again and I watched the roseOn the pillow as it fellI sank and I slept in a twilight with only one careTo know that when day broke and I woke that you'd still be there
The hours for once they passed slowly, unendingly byLike a sweet breeze on a fieldYour gentleness came down upon me and I guess I thanked youWhen you caused me to yieldWe spoke not a sentence and took not a footstep beyondOur two days together which seemingly soon would be gone
Don't tell me of love everlasting and other sad dreamsI don't want to hearJust tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each otherFrom a lifetime of caresBecause if love means forever, expecting nothing returnedThen I hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to learn
Because you gave to me oh so many things it makes me wonderHow they could belong to meAnd I gave you only my dark eyes that melted your soul downTo a place where it longs to be
