we were fools you and i

now we know it

we stood still

as the days moved along

love was ours but our eyes

didn't show it

suddenly we can see

we were wrong

all of a sudden this was yours and mine

all of a sudden water tastes like wine

now every moment there are songs to sing

all of a sudden everything

if i never sing another song

it shouldn't bother me

i've had my share of fame

you know my name

if i never sing another song

or take another bow

i should get by

but i'm not sure how

speak softly love and hold me warm

against your heart

i feel your words

the tender trembling

moments start

we're in a world our very own

sharing a love that only few

have ever known

wine colored days warmed by the sun

deep velvet nights

when we are one

speak softly love so no one hears us

but the sky

the vows of love we make will live

until we die

my life is yours and all because

you came into my world with love

so softly love

anyone who sees her

soon forgets the mona lisa

it would take i know

a michelangelo

and he would need

the glow of dawn

that paints the sky above

to try and paint

a portrait

of my love
