Near You Always

Musical Pantoum Contest Sponsor: Silent One Singer/Songwriter: Jewel
I want to be near you always no matter the circumstance, For we live a life uncommon so we must seek forgiveness, there's an absence of fear in your arms which swept me in a trance, I beg you love, I’m sensitive and wish no wrong furtiveness. For we live a life uncommon so we must seek forgiveness, within my hands I hold a spark and your eyes stare at my waist, I beg you, love, I’m sensitive and wish no wrong furtiveness, when the sun comes up we'll sing our morning song face to face. Within my hands I hold a spark and your eyes stare at my waist, I hope you realize you were meant for me, I am for you, when the sun comes up we'll sing our morning song face to face, my intuition tells me you're my absolute true value. I hope you realize you were meant for me, I am for you, no foolish games have been played, for I only need your essence, my intuition tells me you're my absolute true value, carry pieces of you where I go, my soul has learned lessons. No foolish games have been played, for I only need your essence, I am my father’s daughter and was raised to know loyalty, carry pieces of you where I go, my soul has learned lessons, this way we walk holding hands, I truly feel like royalty. I am my father’s daughter and was raised to know loyalty, as we are standing still I pray you sway me into sweet dreams, this way we walk holding hands, I truly feel like royalty, let’s kiss the flame and drown in deep water where ecstasy screams. As we are standing still I pray you sway me into sweet dreams, there's an absence of fear in your arms which swept me in a trance, let’s kiss the flame and drown in deep water where ecstasy screams, I want to be near you always no matter the circumstance.
