Like A Lover - Dianne Reeves

Like a lover the morning sun

Slowly rises and kisses you awake

Your smile is soft and drowsy

As you let it play upon your face

Oh how I dream I might be like the morning sun to you

How I envy a cup that knows your lips

Let it be me, my love

And a table that feels your fingertips

Let it be me, let me be the one

Put an end to these lonely days and nights

Without you

Like a lover the river wind

Slides and ripples

Its fingers through your hair

Upon your cheek it lingers

Never having known a sweeter place

Oh how I dream I might be like the river wind to you

Like a lover the velvet moon

Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep

Its light arrives on tiptoe

Gently taking you in its embrace

Oh how I dream I might be like the velvet moon

How I dream I might be like the morning sun

How I dream I might be like the river wind the river wind

How I dream how I dream I dream

I might be with you

How I envy a cup that knows your lips

Or a table that feels your fingertips

How I dream how I dream how I dream how I dream

I might be with you
