The Night Is Ours

Just for tonight
Let me steal you away
Along these dusty roads
Free to say that which others aren't allowed to know

For your ears only
I'm letting it out
I'm letting it go
We only get once
So here it goes

All the times I told you
All the times I said lying in your arms
That everything that matters is being free
But I am only free when you're with me

I know it's much too late
And I know it's not my place
Now that it's set
Your wedding date
But here we are young lovers under the stars

So to hell with what they'll say
Damn it all
You were my beginning and now you're my fall
We can do whatever we want
The night is ours

Let nothing stand between you and me
Except the warm summer nights breeze
Forget the world
Let your worries fall away with silent ease

We can make a new beginning
One that we proudly write
Just stand with me
And let's stand against time

The Snow Can Touch You

Its frigid outside from where I stand watching you
Through the fire light I can clearly see you
He's holding your hand
The one I need in mine
To warm it through

The falling snow masks my sullen glances
Hoping for an inviting smile
And when it happens all my hope is crushed
When I find your smile was meant for him
Leaving my longing heart in a shattered pile

When you walk against the winter wind
With your dark hair blowing back
I'm jealous at the falling snow that's slowly collecting on your back
The snow can touch you
A touch that I sorely lack

You walk, alone through the blowing trees
Your name the wind it beckons
I follow your footsteps as far as I dare go
Just to glimpse your silken skins perfections
I know you're his and he's the only love you've known
But to me, you're my souls salvation
