Love You Then

We shared in ancient pleasures
A twelve course Roman feast
We devoured carnal knowledge
We tamed the wild beast
We partook in tribal rituals
Lit the lantern with our flame
We danced together 'til sunrise
Naked and unashamed

I have just begun to love you child
I have just begun to show
The more I know I really want
The more I want to know

We climbed sun-drenched mountains

We parted deep blue seas
We touched the gate to Heaven
We lived possibilities

I have just begun to love you girl
I have just begun to show
The more I know I have to have
The more I have to know
I have just begun to love you child
We have just begun to grow
The more I know I really need
The more I need to know

We engaged in lustful sacrifice
We stood before passion's altar
We watched the flames melt the ice away
We took all the other offered
We gave ourselves over, body and soul
Divided by two, we were one
We lost track of the midnight hours
We woke to the afternoon sun

I have just begun to love you child
I have just begun to show
The more I know I really want
The more I want to know
I have just begun to love you girl
I'll love you 'til the end
And I know I'll love you better
When I get to love you then

Yes, we'll be lookin' back at forever
When I get to love you then
