Serenade

Serenade*

Tenderly hold me, gently enfold me, closer than close can be.
Tenderly squeeze me, nuzzle and tease me, slower than slow can be.
Love me like a fairy tale, where wishes can come true--
Magic for me and you.
Take me to that wondrous place, where lovers dream to be; 
Somewhere for you and me.

Forever take me.  Never forsake me.  Keep me close to your heart.
Evermore stay here, never disappear.  Always be my sweetheart.
Make our love a fairy tale, where wishes do come true--
Endlessly me and you.
Let's live in that wondrous place, where lovers dream to be; 
A home for you and me.

*inspired by Franz Schubert's Serenade, published just after his death in 1829
