Sleep my love Don't you worry You just sleep my love And I'll stroke your hair Oh the sunlight on your face As the day begins to break When you wake And your smile meets mine ah My day begins You're my inspiration Seeing your face glow Is the nicest of hellos Five till noon You sneak up from behind Kiss and caress me Make love to my mind A whisper and a kiss from you Warms my heart Means so much, making love our way Begins early in the day You walk in the room In a sunset sort of mood My emotions light up 'Cause of you Now that evening's come We're dress for us my love Wine and candles puts us in a sexy mood That's when we get to it Close our eyes Feel our our way through it I can't wait to groove ya 'Cause you sure know how to move it You've made love to my mind Now you gotta take me from behind Just like in the movies When the action begins Let's put on a show And we'll take it nice and slow Oh here we go Tell me do you want the blindfold Tell me what you like Baby should I do it once or twice I know that we get naughty But I know you like it like that Now that we felt this warm explosion I know you're satisfied I see it in your eyes Relax Be still my love Let your heart slow down 'Cause I'm no through my dear Don't stop Remember twenty foreplay Can you feel it twenty foreplay You know I need it Yes I need it 24 hours a day Can you feel it Twenty foreplay Let me feel your twenty foreplay Oh, not yet Twenty foreplay Twenty foreplay Twenty foreplay Twenty foreplay Twenty foreplay, yes I need it It's not what you say Before we start to play It's what you say after That makes me want to stay
