He: We kiss in the shadow, we
hide from the moon,
Our meetings are few and over
too soon.
She: We speak in a whisper,
afraid to be heard,
When people are near, we speak
not a word.
He: Alone in our secret,
together we cry
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.
(musical interlude)
She: We speak in a whisper,
afraid to be heard,
When people are near, we speak
not a word.
He: Alone in our secret,
together we cry
For one smiling day to be free.
Both: To kiss in the sunlight,
and say to the sky,
Behold and believe what you see,
Behold how my lover loves me.
