Thinking of all the things my mother said
About love at first sight, �bout vacations at Club Med,
�Bout getting married? Oh yeah, she gave the go ahead
Watching you make your way to my side of the bed
I playfully pull the comforter over my head
Only to have you remove my down feathered shield
You grin at my lavender silk pajamas you have worked to reveal
I step into my cotton soft house shoes as my clothes you begin to peal
The scenery quickly changes to an exquisite ballroom
And here I stand within your arms dressed as an elegant groom
I look you over as you take my hand
And I notice your Tux is a Pierre Cardan
A song begins to play
While my hips begins to sway
It�s a salsa beat that attacks us at our weakest points, our feet
Our bodies move across the dance hall floor
Just as graceful and smooth as the ballroom d�cor
The dance floor swiftly fills with couples
Each one dancing as our body doubles
Every move we choose to display, they mimic in every way
The tempo quickens, my hold on reality slipin�
The lights and sounds blend together and the room feels like it�s tippin�
Then everything stops
You smile, a champagne cork pops
I hear the score of a familiar ballad playing
Then I hear your voice saying
Everything I want and need to hear
Ending with �I love you� and beginning with �Dear�
Our eyes meet not for the first and definitely not for the last time
As our hearts began to beat a rhythmic tone
The scenery fades and suddenly were alone
A gentle wind blows and we�re surrounded by Giant Red Wood
The soft grass beneath our bare feet feels so good
The moon hanging softly in a star filled sky
Reminds me of all the good times gone by
Your kiss upon my chest
Lays all my worries to rest
The love I have for you and you for me
Will keep us together for eternity
And this I know for sure
As your gentle arms bring me to the grassy floor
The love we make echo�s throughout the trees
Along with the erotic screams of �Please�
I feel a light sprinkle and a warm rain begins
Helping our lovemaking to end
I hear your moans of pleasure as you come to the point of release
And then the passion rain has ceased
My world then becomes full of your life-force
As I release I think: �To Hell with Natures course�
Then I awaken to the sound of the radio playing that familiar melody
And rolling over to see your warm body laying next to me
Your eyes open and then you smile
Then I know that the whole relationship has been worth while
You pull me close for a kiss
One that my heart and soul would never want to miss
I feel your strong arm surrounding me
As my eyes began to tear to point where I can not see
Then at that moment I realize that no matter how good it seems
No dream is better than my reality
