You outshine every star in a summer sky
All the lights from heaven eclipse where you stand.
And when I look into your eyes
I clearly see what you command
Waiting in a touch of your hand.
Can I lay my burdens down for awhile?
All I know is in your arms I feel no pain.
If passion's a crime there's no denial
I am guilty and not ashamed
Convicted in the presence of your flame.
Console me with these few moments of peace
Behind the rain I'll keep my tears hidden.
Let my soul sigh in sweet release
This warmth of desire given
Set me on fire, I must burn again.
