Like a lover the morning sun
Slowly rises and kisses you awake
Your smile is soft and drowsy
As you let it play upon your face
Oh, how I dream I might be like the morning sun to you
(I might be like the morning sun to you)
Like a lover the river wind, sighs and ripples
Its fingers through your hair
Upon your cheek it lingers
And I've never known a sweeter place
Oh, how I dream I might be like the river wind to you
(I might be like the river wind to you)
How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me, my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights
Without you
Like a lover the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
It's light arrives on tiptoe
Gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream I might be like a velvet moon to you
(I might be like the velvet moon to you)
Oh, how I dream I might be like a river wind to you
(I might be like the river wind to you)
How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me, my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights
Without you
Like a lover the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
Its light arrives on tiptoe
Gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream I might be like a velvet moon to you
(I might be like a velvet moon to you)
I might be like a velvet moon to you
(I might be like a velvet moon to you)
I might be like a velvet moon to you
(I might be like a velvet moon to you)
I might be like a velvet moon to you
(I might be like a velvet moon to you)
I might be like ...
