Love me under the sun

 I know we both love the moon, but love me in the sun, let the rays shine on us 

And not only the glow of the moon reflecting on our skin 

Let our love be seen at noon 

And not only the strike of midnight

Let the rays of the sun tan our brown skin 

And let our love be the reason it glistens

As we lay under it. 

Let us not only let the constellations be our guide to each other

But allow the compass of our hearts lead us 

I want us to find love in the heart of the city

And not only the lonely streets at night

Let us not share our love only on the backroads 

But on the busy thruway at noon

Love me  as the rays of the southern sunshine

And not only our reflection on the bayou at night 

Love me in the sun

So we can replay it under the moon
