Love Song to a Stranger

How long since I've spent a whole night in a twin bed with a stranger His warm arms all around me?  How long since I've gazed into dark eyes that melted my soul down To a place where it longs to be? All of your history has little to do with your face You're mainly a mystery with violins filling in space      You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out a rose from the bouquet in our hotel And lay down beside me again and I watched the rose on the pillow as it fell I sank and I slept in a twilight with only one care; to know that when day broke and I woke that you'd still be there you d still be there The hours for once they passed slowly unendingly by Like a sweet breeze on a field  Your gentleness came down upon me and I guess I thanked you When you caused me to yield We spoke not a sentence and took not a footstep beyond Our two days together which seemingly soon would be gone Soon would be gone Don't tell me of love everlasting and other sad dreams I don't want to hear  Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other From a lifetime of cares  Because if love means forever expecting nothing returned Then I hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to learn ummmmmmm Because you gave to me oh so many things it makes me wonder; how they could belong to me? And I gave you only my dark eyes that melted your soul down; to a place where it longs to be
