Come closer darling, Into the midnight, Honey come home, There's far too much at stake. Cause the moon It rests On the breast of the sky. Forever enchanting us with its presence, As it glows incessantly, It represents our love, Powerful and forever present, Despite the time of day, Or the month, Or the year. Trust me love, I'll be here, But we don't have much time, For the sun will be up soon, And I know we'll change our minds. With the sun comes the noises of people, Bustling in their livelihoods, Ruining the precious moments, Where all I can hear is the sound of your sweet breath, Intermixed with the sounds of nature's music. So my darling, Come closer, We've wasted too much time, Step into the moonlight, I want to make you mine. 12 embraces for twelve hours of this night, 24 kisses for every hour of the day, I want nothing more than to keep you close to me, Until the sun steals you away. It's the poetic beauty of your midnight skin that captures me, But I cannot pretend, That the thought of not being able to kiss you before the sun, Might be my undoing. So come closer darling, Into the midnight, We have no more time to waste, Come closer honey, Come away, Before the daylight breaks.
