Tonight

Can you feel my palm on your cheek

My fingertips brush your temple lightly

You relax next to me eyes closed

Perfection in my arms tonight

Breathing slow and deeply soft

You feel the tenderness flow

We smile and laugh at life

Laying in my arms tonight

Then the music slows at last

I rock you in my arms and dance

Closely caressing we feel the heat

Swaying in my arms tonight

I'm so far away to be so close

I feel no distance as we float

Across the seas to love's embrace

You are in my arms tonight
