Like a lover, the morning sun
Slowly rises and kisses you awake
Your smile so soft and drowsy
As you let it play upon your face
Oh, how I dream
I could be like the morning sun to you
Like a lover, the river wind
Slides and ripples its finger through your hair
Upon your cheek, it lingers
Never having known a sweeter place
Oh, how I dream
I could be like the river wind to you
How I envy your 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 it into 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 could be like the velvet moon to you
I could be like the morning sun
I could be like a lover to you
