January glazing all the tree branches and
They tap dance on the window panes
Fire blazing in the upstairs bedroom
As you deliberately drive me insane
Five in the morning - still we're possessed
And we stay fixed in each other's eyes
We burn up in desire and Judith sang for us
As our souls meet at the gates of Paradise

I am the classic captive heart it seems
Willing victim of your seductive charms
You are the only one with yesterdays
I came from the cradle and into your arms
You have rainbows under your wings
As I spread mine for the very first time
And Judith sang for us in the very words
Of our own hearts - rhythm and rhyme

Someday when twenty years have passed -
And my heart matures and I am wiser,
I will know that tonight's "main course"
Was really and truly just the appetizer
Famished I came to the Banquet of Life
And sat down at the table as your guest
And as we indulged, Judith sang for us
You and I together are truly the best!
