You come silently, tip-toeing through;
you don't even knock a bead or two
on the curtain at my door. You come
to me suddenly, the room seems to hum.
i know that you're there; the bliss
that comes to me from your sweet kiss
shatters the ice and clears my mind.
Suddenly i feel left behind -
as the world goes 'round, i'm standing still,
watching it turn, like the Fool on the Hill,
and time goes by very slowly, yet
it's too quick for me. i can't forget
how precious it is, this time we share.
You brush your hands through my dark hair,
sweetly singing songs of deep content
with a voice i'm sure is heaven-sent.
Then, when you leave and take the key,
you know i'm yours and can now see.
