"as lovers do" lyrics

I close my eyes when it gets dark
I see your face, me in your arms
Doing the waltz our grandparents would do
The music plays, rings in my ears
The songs of love play loud and clear
Drown out the sound of our impending doom

I can no longer ignore
But you feel so true, so sure
'Cause for you, my love, I ache
As lovers do
Oh, count the days go by
Sleep alone one thousand nights
And I know you'd do the same
As lovers do

I make mistakes and you do too
But after one drink or two
You hold me close and tell me you forgive
I stare into your big brown eyes
I see the world and all its light
So beautiful from your own point of view

I can no longer ignore
But you feel so true, so sure
'Cause for you, my love, I ache
As lovers do
Oh, count the days go by
Sleep alone one thousand nights
And I know you'd do the same
As lovers do
