Can you read my mind?
Does it always seem to be filled
                           with thoughts of you?
Can you touch my heart?
Does it always seem to be beating
                           with love for you?
Can you hear my soul?
Does it always seem to be longing
                           with dreams of you?

Can you take my hand?
Does it always seem to be outstretched
                           waiting for your touch?
Can you touch my cheek?
Does it always seem to be ready
                           waiting for your caress?
Can you hold my body?
Does it always seem to be running
                           waiting for your arms?

Can you give me what I long for?
Can you give me what I need?
You've given me this and so much more
That another I'll never need. . .

Ok Sven, this is the second one of yours, I am reading in as many minutes... and let me tell you that you ask too many questions and darn! they are all so well asked...

Then finally you say....
You've given me this and so much more
That another I'll never need. . .

WOW!

C'est Incrediblè...
