Kiss me softly, kiss me long
for come tomorrow you will be gone
into a world of sea and sky
leaving me lonely with the time
Dream of a distant peaceful shore
away from the pending waves of war
where we can lift our hearts on high
and join our hands across the sky
Meets you were said
like wings in flight
that touched the moon
and split the night
The westward winds
shall guide your path
Star strings on high
shall bring you back
Through the icy sea of night
my love for you shall be the light
casting a glimmer from afar
when you behold the evening star
The ways that break upon my heart
shall send asides, while we are apart
May sword and shield
keep you from harm
till you're safe within my arms
Over the ocean deep and green
forever this beacon shall be seen
casting a glimmer from afar
when you behold the evening star
Take on this voyage draw my prayers
my heart will have wings to meet you there
To kiss you softly, kiss you long
beyond the gleaming gaze of dawn
