The Joy of Being Near

And when the lights have all gone out,
the only sounds we'll hear,
the mighty pounding of our hearts
in the joy of being near.

to touch and hold you close to me,
to feel your body close,
the softness of your tender kiss,
the rubbing of your nose.

I see the love within your eyes,
and more so when you kiss me,
your eyes burn deep within my soul,
that's how true love should be.

the tender way you hold my hand,
the way you smile at me,
the way you hold me oh so tight,
the way you make me see.

I yearn each day for your embrace
I try to fool the rest,
I long to hold you close to me and feel
your heart beating through your breast.

and when the lights have all gone out
the only sight we'll see
will be the vision of our love
a world for you and me.
