Love Is Born In A Shadow

 

Love was conceived in the moment

That I looked into your eyes

Your soul was looking straight at my heart

Stripped of its disguise,

As the darkness filled with stardust

I could see what my heart knew

Love was born, right there

Giving life to something new

 

The love born in my heart

Demanded consolation

Like a baby wanting kissed

Pleading for gratification

Our little bundle of joy

A soul of emotion

A delight that’s ours to know

In mutual devotion

 

PreChorus:  Love is born in a mystery

                    And it is what it is: Destiny  

                    It’s there to stay, come what may

                    It’s yours:  love is your baby

Chorus:  A beginning in a vision of forever

              Born from a bond that ties

              The best of me and you

              To everything we do

              From the past, that’s tried and true

              To the future, and all that’s new

 

Whispered:  Poo poo pee do, love takes two

 

Spoken:  Will you keep our love happy?

               Will you help love find its way?                 

               Will you answer all love’s questions?

               Will you be there everyday?                                         

 

Whispered:  Your baby needs you.

 

You entered my secret garden

Planted the flowers of love’s seed

Enchantment was lighting the dark

As you became my greatest need

The love hiding in your shadow

Held the promise of my dream

Now I always want your love

To be looking back at me 

 

Our gift of unwrapped raptures

Crying tears of demanding need

Harvesting fields of temptation

Yielding the flowers of love’s seed

Reality mixing with magic

Feeding my soul a fantasy

As if your heart and soul

Were tenderly touching me                                                     

 

 PreChorus:  Love is born in a mystery

                    And it is what it is: Destiny  

                    It’s there to stay, come what may

                    It’s yours:  love is your baby

Chorus:  A beginning in a vision of forever

              Born from a bond that ties

              The best of me and you

              To everything we do

              From the past, that’s tried and true

              To the future, and all that’s new

 

Whispered:  Poo  poo  pee do, love takes two

 

Spoken:  Will you hold love when it cries?

               Will you forgive little white lies?         

               Will you answer all the whys?

               Will you help love when it tries?

 

Whispered:  Your baby needs you

 

Love is born in a shadow

Shadows don’t ask why

Ripeness needs to be sweetened

When a need starts to cry

Memories for tomorrow

Wake a promised dream

To flower from the touch

Of love’s planted seed

 

Love is a promise in a compromise

Stripped of its disguise

The real in the reality

Of tantalizing eyes

Rawness so alone

It becomes a need that cries

Reflections of a passion

That joy can recognize

 

PreChorus:  Love is born in a mystery

                    And it is what it is: Destiny  

                    It’s there to stay, come what may

                    It’s yours:  love is your baby

Chorus:  A beginning in a vision of forever

              Born from a bond that ties

              The best of me and you

              To everything we do

              From the past, that’s tried and true

              To the future, and all that’s new

 

Whispered: Poo poo pee do, love takes two

 

Spoken:  Will our love grow to be strong?

               Will our love know right from wrong?

               If it’s wrapped in forever

               Will forever be for long?

 

Whispered:  Your baby needs you.
