Verse 1:
I don't want to love you
At least not the way you're thinking
I don't want to climb the stairs up to your room
'cause up there in the darkness
The love that we'd reach for
Would disappear at dawn with the fading moon
Chorus:
And in the light of love
You'll see how long it takes for love to be
In the light of love
I'll wait to have you and you'll wait to have me
Verse 2:
I have lonely sunsets
Where my heart sinks into dusk
And I want someone to hold me through the night
I know that you are willing
But if it's not forever
I just can't walk away from what is right
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
And he makes it shine down from above
For man and wife to share his love
Repeat chorus
I don't want to love you
At least not the way you're thinking
I don't want to climb the stairs up to your room
'cause up there in the darkness
The love that we'd reach for
Would disappear at dawn with the fading moon
Chorus:
And in the light of love
You'll see how long it takes for love to be
In the light of love
I'll wait to have you and you'll wait to have me
