I was dreaming in the dark
I was dreaming of the open arms of love
I believed it from the start
was conceived there
in the smouldering arms of love
from the smouldering arms of love a child was born
I hear you breathe
and I know you hear me breathing, too
you breathe for me
and I know you do it all for love
I can hear it in the dark
taking comfort from the sounds around these walls
I must leave; my time has come
follow me there
I’m a child, and I’ll be born
I’m a child, and I’ll be born, and I’ll wake up
I hear you breathe
and I know you hear me breathing, too
you breathe for me
and I know you do it all for love
