Since I have been thinking
Of you, baby
As much more than a friend
Those sweet, warm, alive feelings
Are stirring deep
Inside me again
May I think of you as mine
May I call you my woman
May I love you
Across these miles
May I tie my desire
In your raging smile
May I dream in your fire
The next time I dream of life
You lifted the burden
From my being and soul
The pain is going away
My scars are faded and old
The darkness has surrendered
To your bright new day
May I think of you as mine
May I call you my woman
May I love you
Across these miles
May I tie my desire
In your raging smile
May I dream in your fire
The next time I dream of life
We walked in the shadows
And broke through into our room
I laughed when you threw a pebble
At the sensuous inquisitive moon
Baby, you're my tide
I'm your rock and shore
I can neither run nor hide
May I think of you as mine
May I call you my woman
May I love you
Across these miles
May I tie my desire
In your raging smile
May I dream in your fire
The next time I dream of life
