We kiss in a shadow

we hide from the moon

our meetings are few

and over too soon!



We speak in a whisper

afraid to be heard

when people are near

we speak not a word!



Alone in our secret

together we sigh

for one smiling day

to be free!



To kiss in the sunlight

and say to the sky

behold and believe what you see

behold how my lover loves me!







To kiss in the sunlight

and say to the sky

behold and believe what you see

behold how my lover loves me!
