Spoons


If I live to be a thousand
I will not forget the night
we slept like silver spoons
within a drawer
and somewhere in the darkness
with my arms around you tight
I swore someday I'd leave you nevermore.

How can I ever once express
the feelings in my heart
that first night
as you slept so close to me
the passion and the need
that burned and chained
my very soul
the tender love you spent
that set me free.

If you live to be a thousand
you will not forget the night
again we'll sleep
like silver spoons within a drawer
and somewhere in the darkness
arms around each other tight
we'll be at last together
evermore.
