In the dark hours of morning before the breaking of dawn,
I lay here beside you. warmed by your arms.
Holding me gently; or was it me holding on.
We were dancing by moonlight in the whispers of song.
Dance with me. Stay by my side
Dance with me. For the rest of my life.
I dreamed you were gone or did I dream you were here.
Your voice in the stillness. Your heartbeat so near.
Then a light came between us. And the wind called you home.
There in my darkness. There all alone. Please,
Dance with me. Stay by my side.
Dance with me. For the rest of my life
Strange how the mystery of life set you free.
Strange what you think about in moments like these.
In the dance of the moonlight, spinning dreams into dawn.
I will lay here beside you till the wind,
till the wind . . . .Calls me . . . Home.
