In the quiet of the night
I lay wrapped in your embrace,
My precious love
You are my heart, my destiny
For it is through you
That God has given
His best gift to me
In the quiet of the night
I lay wrapped with the memory
Of how we had been
Of how we used to be
For we used to smile smiles
That bring rings to our laughters
Like carefree children
In the quiet of the night
I lay wrapped with questions
That gnaw at my heart
That freezes my hopes
Have you changed?
Have I changed?
Sometimes, I feel I know nothing anymore…
In the quiet of the night
I lay wrapped with fears
That we might be so close
Yet our hearts are far apart
Are you discontented?
Am I not enough anymore?
I can’t help it, I’m afraid
In the quiet of the night
As I lay wrapped in embrace
By you, my love
May you believe somehow
That it is through you
That God has given
His best gift to me…
