WHEN THE NIGHT'S LONELY CURTAIN FALLS MY SATIN SHEETS I LIE UPON I TOSS AND TURN..CALL OUT YOUR NAME UNTIL THE EARLY MORNING DAWN I TRY TO MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE IT'S HOW IT HAS TO BE DO YOU STILL LOVE ME..EVEN NOW? IT'S A TEMPORARY TRIAL OF VANITIES CREEPING TO THE WINDOW I SEE THE FALLING SNOW I WONDER IF YOU'D LIKE THE FROST IT'S WINTER HERE, YOU KNOW.. FALLING TO THE WAITING GROUND A THOUSAND TINY SNOWFLAKES DROP I SHED A SINGLE, CRYSTAL TEAR I WISH THE TEARS WOULD STOP I TRY TO SEE THE SANITY IN LOVING DEEP, WITH MYSTERY, FAIR.. NO MATTER WHERE YOUR TRAVELS GO I KNOW YOU TAKE ME EVERYWHERE SO, AS I HOLD YOU IN MY THOUGHTS THE WONDERFUL,SWEET MEMORIES IT WARMS MY BEDROOM EVEN NOW.. YOU ARE LOVED FOR ALL ETERNITY YOUR GHOST SLEEPS HERE WHEN YOU'RE AWAY IT HOLDS ME, ARMS ENTWINED I ALWAYS KNOW WHEN YOU THINK OF ME MY DARLING, YOU ARE MINE.. WHEN NIGHT'S LONELY CURTAIN FALLS MY SATIN SHEETS I LIE UPON I TOSS AND TURN..CALL OUT YOUR NAME UNTIL THE EARLY MORNING DAWN. written by Susan Jane Kahon December 5,2001 |
