Pamper me with honeysuckle dreams
Make me forget about tomorrow
Sing love ballads out of key
With a knowing look and a wry grin
All the inside jokes and stories
Shared remembrances of sweet days
Are the milk and bread we shall eat
In between sojourns in the sheets
Spoil me with the gift of your time
I in turn will share with you mine
When we are blissfully replete
Put powdered valerian root in my tea
Allow me to sleep longer in your arms
To forget that this is a passing affair
Which dissipates as the morning mist
Evaporating with the rising sun
