Velvety Sky
I noticed you standing and chatting there
your hazel eyes and brown tousled hair
your frame was tall and so strong
your age, well, yes you were young
You looked my way,we shared a smile
just stood and stared for quite a while
till somone came and touched my arm
I couldn't forget your boyish charm
The evening passed, you were still in view
sharing stolen glances, we had a few
my heart was racing, my mind in torment
I knew what I wanted, there was every intent
Then I lost sight of the man I was crazy for
I guessed you'd gone so I headed for the door
Fresh air and a clear head was waiting for me
Silly women to ever think of what could be.
I stepped onto the terrace, such a beautiful night
A velvety sky, full of stars sparkling so bright
then someone touched my arm, gently turned my face
It was you, my heart melted as I fell into your embrace.
I remember that night as if it were yesterday
passion and lust had their part to play
now as we lay entwined in our bed, I watch you sleeping
All these years, love and passion our safekeeping
