Where are you my handsome lover
Will you come to me tonight?

Are you waiting for the darkness
Or the clock to strike Midnight?

In the darkened room I’m waiting
To hear your footsteps in the hall

To hear your low and gentle whispers
As my name you softly call

Hear my heart so loudly beating
As I dance around this floor!

Are you coming to my window
Or will you enter through the door?

I am dressed - yes I am ready…
Your intentions were quite clear!

Tonight we’d steal into the darkness
To travel far away from here!

But – alas I’m only dreaming
As I watch the clock upon that wall

There’ll be no soft and sultry whispers
Nor lover’s footsteps in that hall!
