Like A Lover Lyrics - Maureen Mcgovern

featuring Dori Caymmi 

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 

Like a lover, the river wind 

Sighs and ripples its 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 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 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 

(PORTUGUESE VOCAL SOLO BY DORI.) 

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 

I might be like the morning sun to you 

I might be like the river wind to you 

I might be like the velvet moon to you
