When the sun waves farewell, I'll keep my rendezvous With my love, in a sanctum well-hidden from view; To the Tower of Happiness together we'll climb, It won't be long now, it's just a matter of time
And I toss and I turn with such anxious despair, Then sleep overtakes, and I find him waiting there, Taking me in his arms, our love unfolds once more, One kiss is all it takes to unlock Heaven's door
The longing in his eyes stirs the depths of my soul, And so to love's edicts I relinquish control, For all is possible when love's born of a dream -- The lovers dictate the rules and fashion the scheme
And love governs the night, with not a word spoken, Till the sun claps its hands, and the spell is broken; As I watch the darkness quickly slipping away, I implore the moon's aid, and beg the night to stay
But their task has ended --- there are laws to obey, And how I tremble seeing the first light of day; Alone once more, awakened from my fantasy I pray: Take the night, but don't take my dreams from me!
But I know that tonight when the stars fill the sky, We'll be together once again, my love and I; For all dreamers have an hour when they quietly stray To their own magic realm, and love the night away
