Light up this room, with a candle
Let our broken hearts, love rekindle
All past tender eyes made our hearts rattle
Your eyes made it all seem, all such prattle
Our mettle bruised by old fable smiles
Longing love in streets of rickety miles
Let’s leap each to the other, with joy
Our loving hearts mending from toy
This night has long dwelled in our hearts
Since the days our minds played in parts
Hand in hand, cheek to cheek, hip to hip
Breasts to chest, toe to toe, lip to lip
We have succumb to this way, headlong
Let’s not, this parting darkness prolong
Light up this room, with a candle
Let our broken hearts, love rekindle
What we, in this night shall share is ample
In days to come our hearts will not trample
Our mettle bruised by old fable smiles
Longing love in streets of rickety miles
In our loving hearts, this light is plunger
Binding our souls to be mates in all hunger
Knowing you in this specking brightness
Confers thee tiara in our loving heartiness
Hand in hand, cheek to cheek, hip to hip
Breasts to chest, toe to toe, lip to lip
To our slim shadows this affair is pressing
Even if this passionate life is in passing
Light up this room, with a candle
Let our broken hearts, love rekindle
