Quiet nights of quiet stars
quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that
surrounds us.
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window looking on the
mountains and the sea, how lovely
This is where I want to be here
with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of
life's ember.
I who was lost and lonely
believing love was only
A bitter tragic joke, have found
with you, the meaning of existence, oh my love.
