The grandfather clock sings its midnight chimes
A yearning for you burns deep in my soul
I need to feel you caress me and share a lovers embrace
Your strong arms use to hold me so tender yet tight
Longing for the warmth of your body next to mine
You'd take my long brown hair and caress your chest
Our bodies moved together in perfect rhythm and time
Deep and so true was our midnight love
Oh this longing, this yearning deep inside of me
I'm a woman who has so many desires and dreams
But, now you're frail and your breathing is so weak
My needs and desires I keep placed on the shelf
Now life's cruelty has taken my lovers midnight place
The illness has now taken over our lives
Medicine bottles and oxygen tanks now fill this space
Now I hear the midnight chimes and emptiness fills my soul
I turn to you, not for a lovers touch, it's to see you breathe I desire
Please my midnight love keep breathing!
