In the perfect light, your silhouette in silver lining
Softly glows. Your hand so gently there caresses my face
Hours fill the glasses full. It doesn't mean a thing
Not as long as you hold me, dear, within your gaze
When I wasn't looking
Was when you came along
I feel myself awaking
The horizon glimmers with the blush of dawn
Carry me upon your breath just a little longer
You, with your fingertips, trace where a sigh escapes
Soon the morning dressed in gold, we'll rise to its call
Until then just hold me close, so close in your embrace
Here we are in between the end and the beginning
Let's forget what came before or where we are to go
I had my hesitations
I never thought it would be
Beyond my expectations
Somehow you have a hold on me
In the morning light, your silhouette against the curtains
Draw them close and leave the busy streets down below
Everything just falls aside. It's you and me today
May this moment linger on into an afterglow.
But for now just hold me close into the day.
