I call you by your name because I love you
those are words that rarely leave my lips
I recall the first time that I kissed you
I'd spent my life waiting for that kiss

springtime brought dancing in the sunshine
laughing by the waters edge
the fire crackled like lightning
we were dancing on the ledge

summer goes and so we know it's passing
time is ever swiftly running by
the brightness of the sun hear me laughing
I wonder when you became a lie

I call you by your name because I love you
those are words that rarely leave my lips
I recall the first time that I kissed you
I'd spent my life waiting for that kiss

autumn passes faster than the moonlight
golden rays of sunshine in your hair
and now I see the winter is aproaching
I gather up my courage take the dare

winter comes and cold winds feel so empty
I watch the fire slowly dying down
the snow is blowing all around me
I close the door and walk away, without a sound

I called you by your name because I loved you
those are words that rarely leave my lips
I recall the first time that I kissed you
I'd spent my life waiting for that kiss

relations all have lifetimes
a spring and summer yet to play
as autumn winds give way to winter
I face the night, wait for the day
