Bob Lind - Counting lyrics

Now is the glimmering spinning beginning Of something I've prayed for and counted the minutes To be in the shadows of sheltering meadows Of night here with you in my arms Nothing is breathing as sunset is leaving Except you and I in the stillness of moonlight We're tenderly touching in silent caresses Counting on time to slow down This is the moment that pauses to hold us As you and I move in a background of wonder Surrounded by countless enclosures Of nocturnal unspoken music of joy Counting times I have stood at the foot of your ivory tower And waited and called out your name by the hour And counted on wings of my heartstrings to carry the sound I have counted on fleeting You'd see how I need you come down And now between twilight and midnight you've come to me Down in your gown of soft moonbeams and starlight Bright in the evening the breezes have fenced us And nestled against us You're here And warm And mine till the time when the dawn will awake me, The morning will shake me, the highway will take me But now while the rays of the moon make bouquets We will swim in the luster of lingering streetlights And count on the night to hold everything even And count on forgetting that I will be leaving When heaven has folded and let in the dawn, I'll be gone But now as the gardens of softening nighttine Are blossoming slowly around where we are You and I come together and walk through the dreams of the stars So here while song of the deepening evening Is singing to me from the light in your eyes We can count on each other to move to the beach of tomorrow And know where we've been
