I.
quietly, quietly
don't wake her up
she's sleeping and
she is too beautiful for words

but oh, she must leave in the morning
slowly, slowly, I must make this last
how beautiful
how sad
how precious

louder, louder
to show her you care
now quietly
she is still sleeping
and she is still much
much too beautiful for words

goodbye, beautiful lover
sleep well in nights to come

II.
oh, she returns!
how overjoyed I am!
but still I play slowly,
to make these moments last

oh, but she kisses me
and her lips are heavenly
oh, how beautiful she is
quickly, quickly
with feeling and fervor

louder and louder
let her hear!

stay forever, lover
please stay

III.
nothing is forever
and neither is this
broken, unconventional
romance that we carry on

goodbye is what is best, lover
I will let you go but I will
long for your touch once you are gone

goodbye forever, lover
let your days be many
and as beautiful as you are

but would you stay just the night?

quietly, quietly
don't wake her up
she's sleeping and
she is too beautiful for words

but oh, she must leave in the morning
slowly, slowly, I must make this last
how beautiful
how sad
how precious


*It must have been a beautiful night
with a beautiful girl
and some beautiful dreams.

How I would love to be part of his fantasy.
