Like a Lover (O Cantador)

Like a lover, the morning sun

Slowly rises and kisses you awake

Your smile is soft and drowsy

As you let it play upon your face

Oh, how I dream, I might be like the morning sun to you

How I envy a cup that knows your lips

Let it be me, my love

And a table that feels your fingertips

Let it be me, let me be your love

Bring an end to the endless days and nights without you

Like a lover, the river wind

Sighs and ripples, it's fingers through your hair

Upon your cheek it lingers

Never having known a sweeter place

Oh, how I dream

I might be like the river wind to you

How I envy the cup that knows holds lips

Let it be me, my love

And the table that feels your fingertips

Let it be me, let me be your love

Bring an end to the endless days and nights without you

Like a lover, the velvet moon

Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep

Its light arrives on tiptoe

Gently taking you in its embrace

Oh, how I dream

I might be like the velvet moon to you
