The moments we spend together for us two
Are priceless and precious, but oh so few
For being with you is of the utmost matter
But like leaves in the wind our time is so scattered
So busy are our nights and days
To everything and everyone else does time we pay
With our lives so full of it's daily grind
So lost is the time together we find
And as we drift further and further apart
My greatest fear is that I'm losing your heart
It would be so kind
If we could just find
Some moments in time
For our hearts to again bind
And it will serve to remind
That we still have each others love in mind
And after one long, hard day
I come to you and say
"Honey, let's just steal away"
To our private place of play
For the rest of today"
Once there we will lovingly stay
And as dusk approaches, so goes the light
As we steal away, like thieves in the night
It doesn't matter where we go
For as long as I'm with you it's joy I will know
We'll forget our "other life" with its worries and cares
And spend this time together to lay our souls bare
With our hearts in each others hands
We now enter into our secret wonderland
For now we have stolen away
To a place where "they" can't touch us
Where two hearts beat as one
Where by space and time we are no longer bound
Where our very souls combine and entwine
Until we are now....
As one
Now we have stolen away like thieves in the night
Gracefully, easily like two birds in flight
Just like Ali Baba and the 40 thieves
We too have stolen as we please
For these moments are ours and ours alone
To hold each other close
To share our dreams
Our fears
Our cares
Our tears
Our rights
Our wrongs
Our prayers
Our songs
To share our love
To make love
To stare and wonder at the stars above
To joke
To laugh
To act like the children we were in the past
To plan
To heal
To once again our love seal
Oh time, to us nothing you have lent
For you we had to steal and away we went
Why did you treat us so unkind
For it was moments like these you did undermine
You took from us one of life's greatest pleasures
The time alone we so treasured
But we have taken something back from you
For the memories of this night together will see us through
In our hearts ever so bright
Burns the thoughts of this magical night
This is one night I wish would never end
As I spend this time with my lover, my best friend
But deep in the night as the shadows have fallen
We begin to hear slumbers unwelcome calling
And as we sleep through this mythical night
Content in our hearts as it felt so right
And when morning shines it's glorious face
We'll wake and remember stealing away to our secret place
To the next day and the next and the next
These moments will be the bright spot in our lives so complex
Through these days we'll take time to reflect
Of the night when time we did circumspect
And to you my love these memories I'll bind
The moments we stole away like thieves of time.
