I

Sometimes late at night

By the candle light

All too subtly

You mood alter me … and I …



CHORUS

I'll be drinking up the minutes as they pass

I'll be cherishing the seconds while they last

And you'll be wrapping me, up in luxury,

Until the morning comes



II

So we go upstairs

And you stroke my hair

And you're touching me

It gets too much for me … and I …



CHORUS

I am drinking up the minutes as they pass

I am cherishing the seconds while they last

And you are wrapping me, up in luxury,

Until the morning comes



And oh how I could weep

When I drift to sleep

Cause it seems such a sin

Not to see your face

So I stay awake

Just to drink you in.



III

When the morning breaks

And we both awake

And we're forced to part,

That just breaks my heart … 'cause I …



CHORUS

I've been drinking up the minutes as they pass

I've been cherishing the seconds while they last

And you've been wrapping me, up in luxury,

Until the morning comes

You've been wrapping me up in luxury

Until the morning comes.
