I love you best in waning light
When all conditions are so right
While conversation eats the night
How darkness takes away the blight
You whisper in my ear instead of fight

I love you best in silhouette
When real life hasn’t struck us yet 
The resting world is on reset 
But darling, this is our Corvette
You know the best to come is here to get

I love you best before sunrise 
When all the world’s before your eyes
Where dreams are ours to analyze
There’s never pain, and never lies 
It’s where the fever rest and darkness dies
