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 nears 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 oh how i dream i might be like the river wind to you how i envy a cup that nears 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 i might be like the velvet moon to you i might be like the velvet moon to you
