In Love

Do you believe the things I tell you When the candle's burning low When the front door's locked and bolted And there's no place else to go? I don't tell you what I'm thinking That I love you and I'm yours I'm afraid you'd find a reason To unlock the bolted doors Send me home Never call Make me wish I didn't fall In love So keep the music playing soft The silence deep between us Smoothe my hair and hold me close Be sure no one has seen us I won't tell you what I'm dreaming That you want me for your own That you know you'll never leave me You don't want to live alone You're holding me Saying this Offering Me your kiss In love Then you bring me from my daydreams With the music of your words Giving gifts of timeless magic That your love for me's assured Now we'll touch Then we'll rest With your brow Near my breast In love
