I’ve wondered what it would be like,
To take your hand in mine;
To sit by candle light with you,
And share a glass of wine.

And then I wondered if I’d see,
A twinkle in your eye,
That somehow takes my breath away,
And brought a subtle sigh.

Then as I pictured your sweet smile,
I felt so warm inside,
While passion flowed through pulsing veins,
My thoughts were hard to hide.

Now locked within this fantasy,
Where love has captured me,
You have become my passion’s goal,
For you are all I see.

I’ve never felt so overwhelmed,
By feelings that are true,
Until I looked into your eyes,
And fell in love with you.
