One by one she climbs the steps,

each one taking her closer to his lips.

There in the fire light she twists and turns,

her sweet lips and voice are what he yearns.

My darling, darling girl,

let me hold you close

and make you my world.

I can’t be a knight with shiny armor,

but I can give you all my honor.

One by one she climbs the stairs,

each one taking her closer to his heart,

there he shall hold her in all hours of the dark.

My darling, darling girl,

let me hold you, thrill you and love you
