In the Still of the Night

In the still of the night I hear you whisper Your voice flies on the air Coming to me at twilight The still made ever crisper By your words so fair From a world away my love calls And I hear the gentle sound As it lightly caresses my ear To her knees she falls Praying her love is found My voice will calm her fear She feels my hands in her hair Tugging the strings of passion Tilting her head to me Catching her breath in my stare Master of her vision Letting her soul be free A million miles apart Within my words she is never lost To her existence I spake The lord of her heart My vow to her is cast Her trust to never break To our own universe we go Forsaking all others we go This one thing I know My love she will know This precious gift to her I send To love her forever and to the end The day we meet and make our paradise I'll take her hand and make her mine Around her neck I place the strand Together beyond the rest of our lives Through neverending space and time Collared by my loving hand My love is powerful and deep My hold is firm and hard Driving forward our existence Her heart in mine I keep Never shall it be marred Giving in to my insistence Oceans between us Hearts together as one Souls once united Oceans of love Hearts ablaze Souls entwined In the still of the night It's my name she whispers At it's sound my soul does flare Dancing in the firelight Her image in the cinders The flames hold my stare In the still of the night She comes to me
