Like A Thief In The Night

(v1)
Forsaken by love, too many times
My heart overruled, the pleading inside
Not wanting to hurt again, I took the stance
If I don’t go looking, there’s nothing to find

(v2)
But you captured my heart, and still I don’t
How you cut the chains, that locked it so tight
In the shadows of romance, you found the key
And you stole my heart, like a thief n the night

CHORUS
You played your love song, using my heart strings
Filling the darkness, in my soul with your light
I didn’t know until, it was much too late
When you stole my heart, like a thief in the night

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

(v3)
I wasn’t looking, for love or romance
Just some affection, in pieces and bits
But just like candle light, teased by a breeze
Your kisses flitted, so soft on my lips

(v4)
Slowly you taught me, that love’s not to blame
It’s just the victim, of a cheater’s delight
You soothed the hurt, then you made your move
When you sole my heart, like a thief in the night

Repeat CHORUS
