Gather round all my children
My family and friends
Let me tell you a story
Of a love that won't end
How people touch your life
Make the pain go away
Make all this hard to despise
It's not allways easy
To deal with all this
But do you know the torture
Of resisting a kiss?
Under the moon looking up at the stars
Wrapped in a blanket
With you in my arms
Somewhere in my soul
I could taste your tears
And on the edge of your laughter
I could feel the fear
And somewhere in your heart
I knew that I could find
A psyche a soul, a radient soul
That could touch and be touched by mine
So out there by the water
In a blanket under the moon
Wisps of fog like the arms of a lover
All you pain I wanted to soothe
You ask me to be patient
I will, you're worth waiting for
When you need a shoulder to cry on
Call me or come knock on my door
Whether we be friends or lovers
Like a sister to me you are
And I will allways remember
Our night cuddled under the stars
