Like a lover, the morning sun
slowly rises and kisses you awake
your smile is soft and fuzzy
as you let it play upon your face
oh, how i dream
i might be like the morning sun to you
Like a lover, the river wind
sighs and ripples its fingers through your hair
upon your cheek it lingers
never having known a sweeter place
oh, how i dream
i might be like the river wind to you
How i envy a cup that knows your lips
let it be me, my love
and a table that feels your fingertips
let it be me, let me be your love
bring an end to the endless days and nights
without you
Like a lover, the velvet moon
shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
its light arrives on tiptoe
gently taking you in its embrace
oh, how i dream
i might be like the velvet moon to you

Like a lover, the velvet moon

gently taking you in its embrace
oh, how i dream
i might be like the velvet moon to you
I might be like the velvet moon to you
I might be like the velvet moon to you
