Beneath A Moonless Sky

P: Once there was a night

Beneath a moonless sky

Too dark to see a thing

Too dark to even try

C: I stole to your side

Tormented by my choice

I couldn’t see your face

Yet trembled at your voice

And I touched you

P: And I felt you

P&C: And I heard those ravishing refrains

C: A music of your pulse

P: A singing in your veins

C: And I held you

P: And I touched you

C: And I embraced you

P: And I felt you

P&C: And with every breathe and every sigh

C: I felt no longer scared

P: I felt no longer shy

P&C: At last our feelings bared

Beneath a moonless sky

C: And blind in the dark

A soul gazed into soul

I looked into your heart

And saw you pure and whole

P: Cloaked under the night

With nothing to suppress

A woman and a man

No more and yet no less

And I kissed you

C: I convalesced you

P&C: And the world around us fell away

We said things in the dark

We never dare to say

P: And I caught you

C: And I kissed you

P: And I took you

C: And I begged you

P&C: With a need too urgent to deny

And nothing mattered then

Except for you and I

Again and then again

Beneath a moonless sky

P: And when it was done

Before the sun could rise

Ashamed of what I was

Afraid to see your eyes

I stood while you slept

And whispered a goodbye

And slipped into the dark

Beneath the moonless sky

C: And I loved you

Yes, I loved you

I’d have followed anyway you led

I woke to swear my love

And found you gone instead

P: And I love you

C: And I loved you

P: And I left you

C: How I loved you

P: And I had to, both of us knew why

C: We both knew why

P&C: And yet I won’t regret

From now until I die

The night I can’t forget

Beneath a moonless sky

P: And now

C: How can you talk of now

For us, there is no now
