"One"
(for Christina)

One look, one smile,
One touch of your hand, is all I need
to calm this restless heart of mine...

One voice, one whisper,
One tender word, spoken lovingly
is all I want to soothe all my troubles,
and vanish all my fears

One love, one life,
Two hearts, founded by God, beating as one

One wish, one dream, one prayer,
One thought about you is all I need to draw you
close to me and close the gap that separates us

I hope it will be and I hope it does,
To finally realize what I wish, what I dream,
what I thought it would be:

 "One embrace under a cloudless night,
One look in your starry eyes
One touch by your gentle hands.
And one kiss in your soft, supple, tender lips
I dreamed about all life long."

For these I seek,
and Thou I long to be.
