Upon a veil of midnight blue
|
There hung a crescent moon
|
To light the view
|
But I don't whisper the words
|
When the moment arose
|
I wonder how he knows
|
You say your tongue is tied
|
Your words escape and hide
|
But he's so patient and kind
|
He's prepared to read your mind
|
That's very well till you find
|
Because of the wine you drank
|
Your mind is still a blank
|
|
I wonder how he knows
|
I guess I will wonder until
|
I pluck up the courage to tell him
|
How I feel
|
So close I can feel his heart tremble
|
That look in his eyes as they close
|
I wonder how he knows
|
|
I wonder how he knows
|
