[00:17.09]How long since I've spent a whole night in a twin bed with a stranger
[00:23.52]
[00:24.20]His warm arms all around me?
[00:26.89]
[00:30.65]How long since I've gazed into dark eyes that melted my soul down
[00:36.14]
[00:37.39]To a place where it longs to be?
[00:41.18]
[00:44.30]All of your history has little to do with your face
[00:49.29]
[00:50.85]You're mainly a mystery with violins filling in space
[00:56.00]
[01:02.19]You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out a rose
[01:07.43]
[01:09.55]From the bouquet in our hotel
[01:12.36]
[01:15.73]And lay down beside me again and I watched the rose
[01:21.60]
[01:22.91]On the pillow as it fell
[01:26.17]
[01:29.61]I sank and I slept in a twilight with only one care
[01:35.33]
[01:36.70]To know that when day broke and I woke that you'd still be there you would still be there
[01:44.12]
[01:48.18]The hours for once they passed slowly, unendingly by
[01:53.80]
[01:54.85]Like a sweet breeze on a field
[01:57.85]
[02:01.41]Your gentleness came down upon me and I guess I thanked you
[02:07.59]
[02:08.52]When you caused me to yield
[02:11.95]
[02:15.26]We spoke not a sentence and took not a footstep beyond
[02:21.87]
[02:22.69]Our two days together which seemingly soon would be gone would be gone
[02:29.61]
[02:33.86]Don't tell me of love everlasting and other sad dreams
[02:39.10]
[02:40.97]I don't want to hear
[02:44.78]
[02:47.53]Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other
[02:52.83]
[02:54.20]From a lifetime of cares
[03:01.08]Because if love means forever, expecting nothing returned
[03:07.50]
[03:08.25]Then I hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to learn
[03:13.62]
[03:19.73]Because you gave to me oh so many things it makes me wonder
[03:25.28]
[03:26.53]How they could belong to me
[03:31.26]
[03:33.57]And I gave you only my dark eyes which melted your soul down
[03:39.01]
[03:40.31]To a place where it longs to be

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

And lay down beside me again and I watched the rose
On the pillow as 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 you would still be there
The hours for once they passed slowly, unendingly by
