Lover in my arms

Lover in my arms
drifting off to sleep
your body is mine to embrace
to carry into the deep
and calm of the silent sea
the blackness of the night
I'll carry you into the cloudless horizon so you can see the light at the breaking of the days first dawn as the sun begins to shine to kiss you with its morning rays how i'm glad your mine to share this moment of beauty with the coming of the day to start with you in my arms is there any other way
