A kiss from the moon you gave me
Like roses of red
Skies of blue.
A tender gift parted your lips--
I'll hold it here for you.
If love is to care
And hold you here and there
Until the night is dark,
Then for you I'll care.
If love is long goodbyes
With sparkling eyes that glisten
And staying quiet just to listen
To notice which needs are missing
Then I'll close my mouth and use my vision.
If love is firm but tender
As hands use rough caresses,
Then let me hold you strong and fine
And in my arms make you mine.
If love is strength
And loving you from far--
Like the distance between me and you,
From here to lands anew,
Then I'll send my heart with you.
If love is being second
To sacrifice for you,
To see you smile anew,
Like roses red
And skies of blue--
Always with a kiss
Then don't doubt I know what love is.
