Dianne Reeves - Like a Lover lyrics

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
