Like a Lover lyrics

Like a lover the morning sun

slowly rises and kisses you awake,

Your smile is soft and drowsy

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.
