You blew love my way and passed by
You lingered everywhere in the breeze
You settled right in my heart
Oh, my moon...
Like a sky scattering sunshine
You arrived into my life
You lit the lamp of love
You are my world...
Against your chest
My womanhood leans
My eyes gently close
Do not pull away...
Across my body
Silence washes over
Both my feet
Upon the ground
Are drawing pictures...
You blew love my way and passed by
You lingered everywhere in the breeze
You settled right in my heart
Oh, my moon...
Like a sky scattering sunshine
You arrived into my life
You lit the lamp of love
You are my world...
All across the jasmine grove
You roam like a rabbit
All through my childlike heart
You fill it like the moon
Is this a life? No, it is not
It is only the shadow of your life
A separation is not just a parting
I have been buried deep...
Against your chest
My womanhood leans
My eyes gently close
Do not pull away...
Across my body
Silence washes over
Both my feet
Upon the ground
Are drawing pictures...
You blew love my way and passed by
You lingered everywhere in the breeze
You settled right in my heart
Oh, my moon...
Like a sky scattering sunshine
You arrived into my life
You lit the lamp of love
You are my world...
