First class I took in college
Philosophy 101
The professor a Plato scholar
Leave the Cave, see the sun

I keep searching for Sophia
To give her all my love
They say few can ever find her
Who is she thinking of?

Does she also seek a lover?
A tender touch, a warm caress?
Will she meet me in the moonlight
And let fall her evening dress?

Oh yes! My sweet Sophia
I love you more than I can say
Lead me lonely through the nighttime
Teach me once again to play

For poets, madmen, lovers
Seek your charms, know your ways
Like shameless nameless others
I too will sing your praise

When my time is over
And my song for you is sung
Let me slip into your silence
And remain forever young

Young like you, Sophia
Yet older than the stars
Your devoted true companion
In this long love affair of ours.
