Beneath a Moonless Sky Lyrics

Once there was a night beneath a moonless sky
Too dark to see a thing, too dark to even try
I stole to your side, tormented by my choice
I couldn′t see your face, yet trembled at your voice

And I touched you (and I felt you)
And I heard those ravishing refrains
The music of the pulse
The singing in your veins

And I held you (and I touched you)
And embraced you (and I felt you)
And with every breath and every sigh
I felt no longer scared
I felt no longer shy
At last our feelings bared
Beneath a moonless sky

And blind in the dark, as soul gazed into soul
I looked into your heart and saw you pure and whole
Cloaked under the night with nothing to suppress
A woman and a man, no more, and yet, no less

And I kissed you (and caressed you)
And the world around us fell away
We said things in the dark
We never dared to say

And I caught you (and I kissed you)
And I took you (and I begged you)
With a need too urgent to deny
And nothing mattered then
Except for you and I
Again and then again
Beneath a moonless sky

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 a moonless sky

And I loved you (yes, I loved you)
I'd have followed anywhere you led
I woke to swear my love
And found you gone instead

And I loved you (how I loved you)
And I left you (and I loved you)
And I had to, both of us knew why (we both knew why)
And yet I won′t regret
From now until I die
The night I can't forget
Beneath a moonless sky

And now
How can you talk of now?
For us, there is no now
