Before I hold your hands,
and show you how I care,
I want your soul to feel so safe and warm.
Sitting here beside you,
and telling you no lies,
it's calm and tranquil right before the storm.
Before I hold your smiling face,
and kiss your soft, sweet lips,
or run my fingers across your tender skin.
I want you to know I love you,
and that I always will,
before I even attempt to begin.
Before I take you to my bed,
to hold you in my arms,
before the passion ever starts to rise.
Please make sure you feel it,
the same way that I do,
show me love in your lit up eyes.
So now, my love, as we lie here,
and the melody begins,
I feel your body, it's so soft and warm.
We've started this with tenderness,
but now the heat begins,
just like the lightning--right before the storm.
