The Dreamer

Last night we walked the beach together
two hearts alone, hand in hand...
You gazed into the moonlight,
I wrote your name in sand

Something special was the night,
as we sat upon the shore.
Then emotions overtook us
as we heard the oceans roar.

I stole a kiss, you took it back,
and gently we did touch,
when swiftly our love poured out
let loose in passions rush.

And in each others arms
our bodies did entwine.
I said a prayer to God last night,
in thanks that you were mine.

It was there, last night, I gave to you
my heart for you to keep.
We spoke in silent whispers
as we drifted off to sleep.

The night slipped by so peacefully,
and then the morning broke.
I turned to you, but you're not there,
and from my dream I woke.

Yes, life is but a dream, and I
a dreamer e'er will be,
for I spend every moment dreaming
that you are here with me.
