A Love Beyond Time
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



Quiet moments at the edge of the sea
Silence washing like a wave over me
I can't help smiling when I think 
Of how you've come to be
Such a strong part of me

I watch you sleeping
In the gray light of dawn
Half the covers off 
And half of them on
And I can't help feeling I'm part 
Of some grand design
And a love beyond time

I trace your cheekbone 
With the edge of my thumb
I taste your shoulder 
With the tip of my tongue
I smell the fragrance in your hair 
Of the sun and sea
Of the sun on the sea

I watch the play of light
And shade on your skin
I hear you whisper 
That you want me again.
And I rise to greet your grateful lips 
Once again with mine
And a love beyond time

No one could ever love you more
No one could ever love you more than I
No soul could ever shelter yours
No soul could ever shelter yours like mine
Though the world may rage around us
We're safe within the storm
With a love beyond time
With a love beyond time

Now we've both known 
Our share of failures before
We both drove 
Our share of ships on the shore
We both know the cost 
Of dreaming too hard, too high
Of dreaming too high

But now it seems 
That every step that we missed
Was just a trick of fate 
To lead us to this
When we can share 
The taste of something that's so sublime
As a love beyond time

No one could ever love you more
No one could ever love you more than I
No soul could ever shelter yours
No soul could ever shelter yours like mine
Though the world may rage around us
We're safe within the storm
With a love beyond time
With a love beyond time

With a love beyond time
With a love beyond time
