I Could Watch You

I could watch you Watching paint dry And smile and know No matter what you Do, you make me flutter Through and through I could watch you Watch the birds fly And soar up in the sky No cloud can hide My admiration high As vast as endless perfect Blue; I can see in you I could watch you fall asleep Watch your dreams so loving Deep; the slightest flicker In your eye and softest smile And with it tender Thoughts are brought to Head and then into my mind I can watch you all the time And never ever want or go You fill my soul with everything That a soul would ever want to know I could watch you through and through And forever want to be with you
