If I ran away from tides of the night.
I'd never know the beauty of a sail,
I might miss a stunning starry moonlight,
If I ran away from the tides of the night.

Pretend to be blind, for a moment close your eyes,

Breath easy, breath deep, tell me what your heart sees.

Lie to me softly if its what frightens me most,

Kiss me goodbye if its what you'll never boast.

If I never climbed a mountain due to heights,
I'd never know the stunning view of an eagle's eye.
I might miss the chance to know the feeling of its flight.
If I never climbed a mountain due to heights.

If I never ventured into a forest surrounded by its blight,
I'd never know the wild flowers or trees in blossom
I might miss the chance to discover a growing vibrant site.
If I never ventured into a forest surrounded by its blight.

Pretend to be blind, for a moment close your eyes,

Breath easy, breath deep, tell me what your heart sees.

Lie to me softly if its what frightens me most,

Kiss me goodbye if its what you'll never boast.

If I never soiled my clean cotton shirt in its color white,
I wouldn't be able to live or move in constant fear of dirt?
I might miss the forest, the mountain and the tide of the night.
If I never soiled my clean cotton shirt in its color white.

If I never let you into my heart which I held so tight,
I'd never know the feeling of loving someone more than life.
I would miss the light, the flight, the sight and more than anything- Delight!
If I never let you into my heart which I held so tight.

Pretend to be blind, for a moment close your eyes,

Breath easy, breath deep, tell me what your heart sees.

Lie to me softly if its what frightens me most,

Kiss me goodbye if its what you'll never boast.
