We kiss in a shadow
We hide from the moon
Our meetings are few
And over too soon
We speak in a whisper
Afraid to be heard
When people are near
We speak not a word
Alone in our secret
Together we sigh
For one smiling day to be free
To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky
"Behold and believe what you see
Behold how my lover loves me"
We kiss in a shadow
We hide from the moon
Our meetings are few
And over too soon
We speak in a whisper
Afraid to be heard
When people are near
We speak not a word
Alone in our secret
Together we sigh
For one smiling day to be free
To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky
"Behold and believe what you see
Behold how my lover loves me"
