Like Columbus 

Like Columbus seeing land I yearned for you
And thought to know your richnesses,
Mine the jewels of your body
And the sense of you.
I thought I'd know the sense of you.

Playing in the beauty of your smile
I thought I saw a kiss.
It was just mist.

Refrain:
     Like Columbus seeing land
     I dreamed that I'd explore you;
     I was wrong.
     I'm still at sea.
     I dreamed that I'd explore you;
     I'm still at sea.

Like Columbus sensing land on scented air
Knowing that the world had changed,
My world was altered on the night
I felt the sense of you,
Breathing in the scents of you.

I tasted in the sweetness of your smile
A promise when we kissed.
It was just mist.

Repeat Refrain

Ending:
     Like Columbus seeing land
     I yearned for you.
