It was the night 
Before the harvest moon 
I barely caught my breath 
Looking at you 

Oh, love is the sweetest pain inside 
Oh, and the answer to it all is right there in your eyes 

I think I could die tonight 
And know that I don't have to live again 
And make love for hours 'til our bodies join 
And your skin is my skin 
If I could take the sun and take the moon 
And make tomorrow wait 
If only I, if only I knew the way 

If I could speak 
Release this quiet storm 
And let you see my heart 
Open and warm 

Oh, maybe then you could ease the pain 
Oh, maybe this longing in my soul will make you wanna stay

I think I could die tonight 
And know that I don't have to live again 
And make love for hours 'til our bodies join 
And your skin is my skin 
If I could take the sun and take the moon 
And make tomorrow wait 
If only I knew the way 

If I could take 
The stars and write your name 
If I could stop this fire 
And make it rain 

Oh, I would be free of loving you 
Oh, if only you were mine 
If only you knew
