I miss your love, I miss your touch, but I’m feeling you every day.

There’s a strange kind of light, in my bedroom tonight.
Pray silence my fear; she is near, bringing heaven down here.

Leaning down besides me, whispering my prayers.

There’s a strange kind of light, caressing me tonight.
Pray silence my fear; she is near, bringing heaven down here.

The next time that we meet, I will bow at her feet.
