In the boudoir of my heart
burns a magnolia candle bright
melting, burning
upon branches of moonlight

Silhouettes waltz
upon a satin wall of dreams
a man in a black tuxedo
I in a gown.. gossamer
flowing like a stream

Cyan eyes watch in the mirror
reflect each graceful move
long ebony hair
flows over my shoulder loose
each tender kiss
sweet as chocolate mousse

Each step is a step
closer to hearts bed
intoxicated by magnolia
a sheet of moonlight threads

Strings of gold violins
play sheet music Devine
a canopy of shining foliage
dark foliage silk vines

Oh! How I wish
I could see his face
this man in a tuxedo
as I dance in his embrace

In the boudoir of my heart
I long for his touch
Will the strings of gold violins
play eternally?
The phantom within my heart
Will he always be a fantasy?
