I miss the mist upon your lips
That perfect slip of time
The way you sing your soul each night
Over cigarettes and wine
I sit amused on the wings of stage
This perfect pantomime
That moment you were mine.

.........................................................

You spin your dreams on webs of silk
Balanced perfectly on time
Though brave, you sing with shy retreat
In humbleness you shine
I guide your hand to touch my heart
With love in every line
Each moment you are mine.
