In the cool dark night here on my pillow

as the stars hang bright over my head

I can hear a breeze sing in the willow

all the words of love we've said

and my heart pounds strong

under the covers

and the moon casts long shadows ahead

but I'm in a song only for lovers

in the cool dark night instead



I can hear each promise we've never broken

and each heartfelt moment

we'd ever share

calling somehow

calling someway

I will always be there



And I wonder if just as they told me

all the old cliches really come true

then I feel two arms reaching to hold me

and I'm lost and found and new

in the cool dark night with you
