Beyond the Sun
With the break of dawn, as I watch you sleep,
... sun peeks in.... with gentle fingers on your face....
The morning wakes again, ..and day begins,
... ours to linger in,... close within love's arms.......
Tomorrow seems a distant place, too far to see from here,
Our yesterdays will fade somehow, like faces in the crowd
But wrapped in warmth of midnight's arms, are moments that allow
to keep me high up in the clouds, on a stairway to the sun
I've caught you with your guard down, dreams I cannot know
I'm bound by love, as blinding as the morning's afterglow
The new day keeps a promise, catching you asleep
I see the jealous sun caress, but, ..you are mine, alone, to keep
Your sleeping face, reveals to me... that time and space stands still
And what I feel, ........I know is real........may nothing break the spell
I feel my breath escape, and watch you breathing soft and low
in afterglow, of night's embrace,
...when midnight's promised words were vows
Interlude melody..............
Shadows flirt across the bed, but I know you dream of me
I watch you sleep, as the sun peeks in, with warmer undertones....
In the blushing light, of the night's embrace, are vivid afterglows
Across the bed, the light grows bold, and turns the red to gold
Tomorrow seems a distant place, too far away,.... too far to see from here,
Our yesterdays are vanished stars, lost traces in the clouds
But wrapped in warmth of midnight's arms, where moments have allowed
to keep me high up in the clouds, on a stairway to the sun
High away........high away.........high away on a stairway to the sun
High away.......so very high away........high away, there beyond the sun
Take me there........take me there........ high away.........so high away....
Take me past the sun, to that place, to that place within your dreams
so high away.........high beyond the sun
