[Verse 1]
I lift my lips from kissing you
To kiss the sky, clouds soft and blue
And slow the sun melts down into
Your golden words for me
[Verse 2]
I lift my hands from touching you
To touch the wind that whispers through
This twilight garden turns into
A world where dreams are real
[Chorus]
No one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No one will ever take your place
So in love with you
[Verse 3]
I lift my eyes from watching you
To watch the star rise shine onto
Your dreaming face and dreaming smile

[Chorus]
No one will ever take your place
I am lost in you

I lift my lips from kissing you
And kiss the sky wide deepest blue
And slow the moon swims up into
Your golden words for me
[Chorus]
No one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No one will ever take your place
So in love with you
[Refrain]
No one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No one will ever take your place
