Amoureuse

(album: Let Me Be There - 1973)

Strands of light on our bedroom floor
Change the night through an open door
I'm awake but this is not my home
For the first time I'm not alone
Reaching out I touch another's skin
Breathing out as he's breathing in
Deep inside I feel my soul aflame
Can my life ever be the same

I should have told him
That I'd do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not forget
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
Another planet

Close together in the afterglow
I remember how his loving flowed
Turned the key into another world
Made a woman of a simple girl
Daylight comes as we both know it must
Soon my fantasy will turn to dust
But I would give him anything he asked
If my first love could be my last

I should have told him
That I'd do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not regret
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
Another planet
