Asking How Your Beauty Can Be

Asking How Your Beauty Can Be In my dreams, dancing in those night dreams as I do I met HE that hung the bright stars in the night sky Asking a thousand questions, I failed in asking why Spring rain is so perfect, the Autumn moon is too the world be so ugly but such beauty rests in you! Spring rain sings out as it cascades on down little songs sprout up after it hits the ground So perfect that massive Oak from such a tiny seed Nature's wisdom which we would do well to heed Yes, in my night dreams these thoughts are found Autumn moon splattering its light down upon you giving your lovely face the beauty that it is due The perfect form to match those deep brown eyes hanging there to shine on you from the night skies If I ever saw perfection it must have been in you This world so ugly, dark nights are blessed gifts yet that relief pales to your grace that so uplifts As your heart inspires, my mind finds its treasure we fill our cup and forget to ever our love measure In my dreams these images dance with the moon shifts In my dreams, dancing in those night dreams as I do I met HE that hung the bright stars in the night sky Asking a thousand questions, I failed in asking why Spring rain is so perfect, the Autumn moon is too the world be so ugly but such beauty rests in you!
