The moon is my light of love
In the night, I am quite a romancer
I find an answer above
To being me consolation, you're my inspiration
This is my imagination.
Time on my hands, you in my arms
Once and for all, I'll see my dreams come true
Moments to spare for someone you care for
Our love affair for two
With time on my hands and you in my arms
And love in my heart all for you.

When the day fades away into twilight
As the sun sets and darkness takes over,
The moon is my light of love
I find solace in the moon for it reminds me of you
In the night, I am quite a romancer
As darkness envelops, I am at ease, in love
I find an answer above
For there's no limit to the power of love, only the sky above
To being me consolation, you're my inspiration
You are the light of my life, my source of comfort, and inspiration
This is my imagination.
In this world, only through my imagination, I can make you mine
Time on my hands, you in my arms
With no worries or burdens, just you, and me
Nothing but love in view, then you fall
Only love can be seen, and nothing else matters but you falling for me
Once and for all, I'll see my dreams come true
Finally, all my hopes and dreams will come true if I have you forever
Moments to spare for someone you care for
It only takes a moment to cherish, someone you truly care about
Our love affair for two
Our love is meant only for us, and nobody else
With time on my hands and you in my arms
Together we have all the time in the world, with nothing else to worry about
And love in my heart all for you.
My heart only beats for you, and nobody else

Trombonology Erstwhile
Wonderful -- and indeed evocative of the antics of pups, Golden Retriever and otherwise. ... A magical duo who exposed and expanded the expressive potential of the guitar.

It's true; they could not have been more musically symbiotic. They were such great friends, it was even fun to watch them play chess :)
