Sweetheart with your lips so luscious
Sweetheart with your lips so sweet
Want to lie beside you darling
Want to worship at your feet
Want to feel you close beside me
Lying with you in the night
Making love for hours and hours
Until morning’s gentle night
Sweetheart with your lips so tender
Sweetheart with your lips so soft
Want to love you, love you darling
Soft our breathing gently wafts
Want to stay with you forever
Want you always by my side
Eternity’s not long enough
For me your loving mistress bride
