Would you love me if I made you coffee Every morning for a thousand years In the evening you tell me a story About a hunter turned into a deer We talk for hours in a sentimental fashion Breathing in the languid perfume of the moon And pick the flowers that we'll lay out on their coffins Cold winter comes oh, so soon The light of your eyes And the curve of your smile (And the curve of your smile) The lovely surprise of (The glow of) Your skin in the dark Lie for a while And I'll be by your side (And I'll be by your side) Meantime the moments won't make a mark Like Selene and Endymion We'll watch the string of days go by You will shine and I will lie down To observe you in the midnight sky Our history is just one dream after another Written down in a shaky script I can see the here and ever after In the curve of your blood red lips The light of your eyes And the curve of your smile (And the curve of your smile) The lovely surprise of (The glow of) Your skin in the dark Lie for a while And I'll be by your side (and I'll be by your side) Meantime the moments won't make a mark When you sleep, sleep with one eye open And you'll see me watching over you Wake me gently and the spell will be unbroken We'll walk the garden in eternal bloom
