We kiss in a shadow
we hide from the moon
our meetings are few
and over too soon!

We speak in a whisper
afraid to be heard
when people are near
we speak not a word!

Alone in our secret
together we sigh
for one smiling day
to be free!

To kiss in the sunlight
and say to the sky
behold and believe what you see
behold how my lover loves me!

< instrumental break >

To kiss in the sunlight
and say to the sky
behold and believe what you see
behold how my lover loves me!
