The music played softly
In the distant background
As I came to you silently
In the darkness of night.
I saw your silhouette
As you lay there quietly,
Patiently, upon the bed.
You held out your hand
And smiled up at me
In the darkness of the night.
I reached out to you
And held you closely
As we shared our love
In the darkness of the night.
