How long since i've spent a whole night in a twin bed with a stranger
His warm arms all around me?
How long since i've gazed into dark eyes that melted my soul down
To a place where it longs to be?
All of your history has little to do with your face
You're mainly a mystery with violins filling in space
You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out a rose
From the bouquet in our hotel
And lay down beside me again and i watched the rose
On the pillow where it fell
I sank and i slept in a twilight with only one care
To know that when day broke and i woke that you'd still be there
The hours for once they passed slowly unendingly by
Like a sweet breeze on a field
Your gentleness came down upon me and i guess i thanked you
When you caused me to yield
We spoke not a sentence and took not a footstep beyond
Our two days together which seemingly soon would be gone
Don't tell me of love everlasting and other sad dreams
I don't want to hear
Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other
From a lifetime of cares
Because if love means forever expecting nothing returned
Then i hope i'll be given another whole lifetime to learn
Because you gave to me oh so many things it makes me wonder
How they could belong to me
And i gave you only my dark eyes that melted your soul down
To a place where it longs to be
