Music At Midnight

Listen, my love, sit close by my side
As I play my songs only for your ears,
Catching the chords for your joy,
Music to tell you all of my fears
And all of my laughter and pride,
The verses I shape to try and explain
The things that I feel when I see you
And touch you and how I enjoy
To be close to you always,
Never quite sure it’s really true
Holding you in my arms again.
Listen to the words which tell
Of all my love for you, the song which says
That I’m caught in your own love’s spell.
