We shared a cigarette when you turned twenty-one
You caught my eye but I’m surprised you gave me sun
A little light to break the January gloom
Red roses soon to bloom
I can’t catch these stars on my own
I can’t light the fire in your soul
I don’t know the way into your heart
Please show me
I dream every night of your lips against mine
Gently, softly, slowly
We drank honey whiskey while the saints all came undone
We talked until the yellow moon was on the run
I drove home as the sky burned embers in the night
And brought the daylight
I can’t catch these stars on my own
I can’t light the fire in your soul
I don’t know the way into your heart
Please show me
I dream every night of your lips against mine
Gently, softly, slowly
Though soon I’m leaving town
I’ll still be back around
These hopeful eyes are all that I’ll bring
This dreamer’s lost before
I’ll still come back for more
Dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat in the spring
I can’t catch these stars on my own
I can’t light the fire in your soul
I can’t catch these stars on my own
I can’t light the fire in your soul
I don’t know the way into your heart
Please show me
I dream every night of your lips against mine
Gently, softly, slowly
