Quiet moments at the edge of the sea
Silence washing like a wave over me
I can't help smiling when I think
Of how you've come to be
Such a strong part of me

I watch you sleeping
In the gray light of dawn
Half the covers off
And half of them on
And I can't help feeling I'm part
Of some grand design
And a love beyond time

I trace your cheekbone
With the edge of my thumb
I taste your shoulder
With the tip of my tongue
I smell the fragrance in your hair
Of the sun and sea
Of the sun on the sea

I watch the play of light
And shade on your skin
I hear you whisper
That you want me again
And I rise to greet your grateful lips
Once again with mine
And a love beyond time
No one could ever love you more
No one could ever love you more than I
No soul could ever shelter yours
No soul could ever shelter yours like mine
Though the world may rage around us
We're safe within the storm
With a love beyond time
With a love beyond time

Now we've both known
Our share of failures before
We both drove
Our share of ships on the shore
We both know the cost
Of dreaming too hard, too high
Of dreaming too high

But now it seems
That every step that we missed
Was just a trick of fate
To lead us to this
When we can share
The taste of something that's so sublime
As a love beyond time

No one could ever love you more
No one could ever love you more than I
No soul could ever shelter yours
No soul could ever shelter yours like mine
Though the world may rage around us
We're safe within the storm
With a love beyond time
With a love beyond time
With a love beyond time
With a love beyond time
