To Understand Our Love

Oh, if they could understand our love
They would see what I see in your eyes 
Ev’ry star that lights the sky above
Not the diff’rent worlds our love belies

They would see what I see in your eyes 
Touch, peerless in nature, taunts the dove
Not the diff’rent worlds our love belies
Purring softness, I can but dream of

Touch, peerless in nature, taunts the dove
Stallions such as I, cannot disguise 
Purring softness, I can but dream of 
Notions of my soul, my heart complies

Stallions such as I, cannot disguise
Ev’ry star that lights the sky above
Notions of my soul, my heart complies
Oh, if they could understand our love
