Burning Love

You know me, like the moon knows the stars,
With a gentle glistening that erases
Every thought of fear, every ache, every care…

You know me in ways I can’t explain –
With your love, you make me feel – you change
My darkness to light, my worry to calm, 
My yearnings to assurance that every dream
Every hope – will become a promise, assured
By the music, the rhythm of a love so beautiful
So true that nothing on earth could destroy
The brilliance of this feeling, this affection –
The kiss of your smile, the twinkling in your eyes
The wonderful inside you – that makes me so sure,
With you, because of you…

I am filled with a joy that can’t be described,
A music that never subsides,
A light that never leaves my heart,
A wonder that refuses to depart.

Because of you, my love – I know a freedom, a grace
More wonderful than any feeling I’ve known,
More perfect than any thought or hope,
More elated than any miracle, any yearning…

Because of you, my love – I know a love that is still burning
Long after the years have taught me that feelings,
Flames of desire – feelings afire… will someday be quenched

Because of you, my love – this fire won’t be overshadowed
By fears, tears or years – it is forever burning with a brilliance
That inspires, remembers, stirs up the sweetest feeling…
With you, love – there are passions and pleasures, a lasting yearning
