It was the night

Before the harvest moon

I barely caught my breath

Looking at you

Oh

Love is the sweetest pain inside

Oh

And the answer to it all is right there

In your eyes

I think I could die tonight and know

That I don't have to live again

And make love for hours

'Til our bodies join

And your skin is my skin

If I could take the sun and take the moon

And make tomorrow wait

If only I

If only I knew the way

If I could speak

Release this quiet storm

And let you see my heart

Open and warm

Oh

Maybe then you could ease the pain

Oh

Maybe this longing in my soul

Will make you wanna stay

I think I could die tonight and know

That I don't have to live again

And make love for hours

'Til our bodies join

And your skin is my skin

If I could take the sun and take the moon

And make tomorrow wait

If only I knew the way

If I could take

The stars and write your name

If I could stop this fire

And make it rain

Oh

I would be free of loving you

Oh

If only you were mine

If only

You knew
