Dawn of Love

(To be sung to the tune of Journey's "Open Arms")

[Here are the original lyrics by Journey]

Open Arms
Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heartbeat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind?

We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side

So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am, with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay

So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am, with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

[My new lyrics are below]

Dawn of Love
   Soft as a sunset, warm as the sand
   Reaching my soul with your eyes
   Gently you touch me, holding my hand
   Pure as the blue August skies

   A full moon in summer
   A mist from the sea
   A whisper from you to me

   Is this the moment of the dawn of love?
   Can I believe you're more than a dream?
   I need to know is this for show
   What's this I feel - is it false, is it real,
   Is it love?

   Coming from nowhere, like the first star
   Shining through night's bitter cold
   Eyes like blue diamonds
   Bright as the moon
   Cut to the core of my soul

   They look for an answer,
   The answer is this:
   Love, sealed with a kiss

   Is this the moment of the dawn of love?
   Can I believe you're more than a dream?
   I need to know is this for show
   What's this I feel - is it false, is it real,
   Is it love?
