We kiss in a shadow,
We hide from the moon,
Our meetings are few,
And over too soon.

We speak in a whisper,
Afraid to be heard;
When people are near,
We speak not a word.
Alone in our secret,
Together we sigh,
For one smiling day to be free
To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky;
"Behold and believe what you see!
Behold how my lover loves me! "

Afraid to be heard;
When people are near,

We speak not a word.
Alone in our secret,
Together we sigh,
For one smiling day to be free

[Both]

To kiss in the sunlight
And to say to the sky;
"Behold and believe what you see!
Behold how my lover loves me! "

To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky;
