In the morning when I wake

I can almost hear the whisper

On one late November night

When I was still young

How I found him in the trees

With his face so warm and tender

That strange lover in the dark

Cut deep in my heart

Now or never stay with me forever

Tell me that we'll never ever part

But his eyes betrayed the lie

That pierced like a dart

Fly together into never never

Locked inside the beauty of a song

But tomorrow's light will find him gone

In the morning when I wake

How I wonder if I'm dreaming

That strange lover in the dark

Cut deep in my heart

In the night I hear his sighs

In the morning hour I see him

That smooth silver of his skin

And soft lifting grin

Was it you or just the wind

When I try I almost kissed him

That strange lover in the dark

Cut deep in my heart

Now or never stay with me forever

Tell me that we'll never ever part

But his eyes betrayed the lie

That pierced like a dart

Fly together into never never

Locked inside the beauty of a song

But tomorrow's light will find him gone

In the morning when I wake

How I wonder if I'm meeting

That strange lover in the dark

Cut deep in my heart

Now or never stay with me forever

Tell me that we'll never ever part

But his eyes betrayed the lie

That pierced like a dart

Fly together into never never

Locked inside the beauty of a song

But tomorrow's light will find him gone

In the morning when I wake

How I wonder if I'm dreaming

That strange lover in the dark

Cut deep in my heart
