Little Stranger

Still and unreal, this winter light
Awake with you in a deep velvet night
Still and unreal, this space in time
Trying to comprehend that you're here and you're mine

Through a crack in the door, a sea wind sighs
Across a moonlit room to where we lie
Quiet intent, your deep brown gaze
Lost in your own world, wrapped in your mother's embrace

Little stranger, months without knowing
Little stranger, deep in my heart
You will stay with love that's ever growing
Smiling boy, stranger no more

Beside us your mother's sleeping on
Blissful, peaceful rest 'til the dawn
And you now too, drift away
Fingers entwined as your sleepy eyes yield to their weight

Little stranger, months without knowing
Little stranger, deep in my heart
You will stay with love that's ever growing
Smiling boy, stranger no more

And when I think of the time we have together
When I think of the times yet to come
My heart fills with joy and expectation
Endless horizons, smiling one

Little stranger, months without knowing
Little stranger, deep in my heart
You will stay with love that's ever growing
Smiling boy
Little stranger, months without knowing
Little stranger, deep in my heart
You will stay with love that's ever growing
Smiling boy, stranger no more
