Lights dance along the quiet canal

Our shadows slowly walk along

I am the woman who feels softly

Your hand seeks mine in the night

Streetlights paint gold into the water

Old boats are quietly dreaming

The world turns soft inside this glow

Under the streetlights by the canal

time holds its breath for a while

When you see me, it turns still

and my heart glows like the water

Your laughter floats above the river

I gather every little light

Keep it deep within my skin

Under the streetlights by the canal

time holds its breath for a while

When you see me, it turns still

and my heart glows like the water

The night lays gently over the land

And the last light softly says good night
