In the stillness of night my love will find me;
In the shadows of the darkness he will bind me,
And we hide from the sun as we become one.

Let no one say that we were never meant to be;
Who can choose to direct a heart that desires to be free?
If other people cannot comprehend true love's vow
Than surely they do not know what we have now.

There is much more to this story than a confused girl with strange delusions,
And I can assure you all, it is not just mere confusion.
Now don't get me wrong, some of you might have been right,
But I know it's not any of you I want at night.

If you knew the feel of a man's arms when you break,
You'd know the reasons behind every risk I choose to take.
Sometimes love is the only way to let myself believe in life,
And sometimes all my dreams are what carry me through the night.

So listen, you critics, love isn't just a game;
It's not just for the crazy, the absurd, and the insane.
Love is a condition, an emotion, and a truth;
Lust is a disease that overtakes folks in their youth.
I may have been a victim, I might have found a cure,
Or maybe now I'm just a little more mature.

When you look out the window, do you see birds doubt their wings?
So when I speak to you about my love, why do you distrust those things?
I alone know the pleasure concealed, and surely I can say
That love is love and truly loves more for every day.

If love was a deception, a simple masquerade
Would people walk around in masks, making themselves a shade?
Would men go to war, to save those they love,
Would men ever be gentle, more so than a dove?
Without true emotions, what would our world be?
Surely, love is the thing that makes us choose to simply
Be.
Does the makeup hide the tears
Painted faces masking fears
But underneath all the glitter
She has a heart of gold

Mornings serving coffee
In the street corner café
Nights she's there again
Turning tricks for extra pay

And can you see behind the costume
See the light within her eyes
Her home lies dark and vacant
She's leading double lives

Just a small town woman
Struggling to sustain
Just a casual showgirl
'Till the morning sun rises again
I trod on earth that sparkled
I waltzed beside the moon
Dancing in the universe
To a planetary tune

The comets sang a medley
A spatial serenade
All the heavens hummed the chorus
Thus a harmony was made

The sun joined in in baritone
A rich voice filled with light
The planets played a polka
As we danced into the night

Music swelled around us
In an orbital orchestra
A constellation conga line
The last thing that I saw

I woke from my deep slumber
As I slept beneath that sky
The starlit party glistened
A twinkling tango before my eyes

I woke from my deep slumber
As I slept beneath that sky
The starlit party glistened
A twinkling tango before my eyes
needs a new title?
Some say
That love is an illusion,
But someday
I will prove them wrong;
In some way,
I will show the world the truth

Because when I fell in love with you,
Everything was beautiful,
And I knew it all was true,
And it was true love;
I heard the choir singing,
And all the church bells ringing,
And I spent my whole day thinking
Thank you angels up above

I knew I could find happiness
In some way;
I know it could be gone
Someday;
Nothing lasts forever,
Some say;
But I will show the world the truth;
I will prove them wrong
Silent writer shifts poetic,
she, whom critics name neurotic;
despite all, she stays ecstatic
trifling shy, a bit exotic.

Watch her pen on paper flutter,
words pour out in a cascade;
not a word does her mouth mutter,
living a mute masquerade.

Streams of passion does she write,
guided by the Moon serene;
recording words by candlelight,
in life a hermit, in truth a queen.
instead of "the life she lives a mute charade" should i use "living a mute masquerade"?
