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.

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.

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.

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.

And he makes it shine down from above for man and wife to share his love.

And, in the light of love, you'll see how long it takes for love to be,
And, in the light of love, I'll wait to have you and you'll wait to have me.
