In Your Absence

I saw the clouds pass over the moon
And I thought, I'd be seeing you soon
But in the night, I wait
I'd anticipate
And when the wind passed over my skin
And a hurricane stirred from within
It spun me around till I felt your lips
Your gentle skin on my finger tips
Just pretend and then I'll make it true
For tonight, tonight I'll wait for you

I'd bring the stars down if you asked that of me tonight
And I would lay beside you never to leave your sight
And when the stars, they start to fade
I'll still be there for all these days

The beat, the heart, it quickens in pace
The rose of dawn blossomed in place
But still I waited, and still
The warmth it gives me chills
The hours pass, but still I remained
A promise I swore to retain
But as I waited, I could not find
The soul I swore never to leave behind
Just pretend and I'll make it true
For today, today I'll wait for you

The sky is clear, no clouds on the moon
But my teary eyes, I've broken too soon
A promise you could not keep
How shallow are your dreams?
I'd count the stars that passed in the sky
Until, again, the sun had to rise
I'll never leave this spot
Whether you come or not
Just pretend and then I'll make it true
For the rest of my days, I'll wait for you

(I'd bring the stars) I'd bring the stars down
If you asked that of me tonight
And I would lay beside you never to leave your sight
And when the stars, they start to fade
I'll still be there for all these days
