| Out of the night that covered me
|
| I thanked whatever God may be
|
| For my unconquerability
|
| Beyond this place of unafraid
|
| Sometimes I sense a darker shade
|
| But I am the master of my fate
|
| A new unsureness came along
|
| 'Cause you bring so much joy
|
| But I had planned to stay alone
|
| You’re here and I try to resist
|
| I am successful but I’ll miss you
|
| From the moment that you’re gone
|
| I don’t want to, I don’t want to
|
| I don’t want to crush on you and
|
| I don’t want to, I don’t need to
|
| I don’t want to rush, it’s true 'cause
|
| I’m afraid to, I’m afraid to,
|
| I’m afraid to have you near, but
|
| All I want is, all I want is,
|
| all I want is to have you here with me
|
| The moon, the golden glory of the sun
|
| And rivers murmering as they run
|
| Have always been my dearest joy
|
| And you of green Savannahs spoke
|
| And then you smiled at me and stroked me
|
| When you looked a second like a boy
|
| Before me shines a glorious world
|
| Fresh as a banner, bright unfurled
|
| Together suddenly
|
| I look upon the hills and plains
|
| And feel as if let loose from chains
|
| To live in liberty
|
| All I want is to have you here with me
|
| Here, like a prayer I’d like to say to you
|
| Dear, don’t you ever ask too much too soon
|
| But now I fell upon a velvet cloud and
|
| trusting is what I’m allowed
|
| Although I don’t want to crush on you
|
| All I want is to have you here with me |
