Stopping Me In My Tracks
I just stopped in my tracks
hearing those beautiful verses
soft, sweet, and a little bit sultry
What she called broken English
drew me near and
ripped my heart to pieces.
I came closer and saw
staring...
those rich chestnut eyes
roasting on a fire deep inside
the smell of lavender fragranced the air
from that flowing fauna hair
floating me through fields
of wildflowers...
Bright yellow and white daisies sang out to me
surrounded by bold blue Pimpernel
and purple prairie clover..
my mind was drifting away
Then you noticed me and smiled
a big how are you smile
stopping me again in my tracks
It was then and it was there I knew
there was no turning back
I knew my love I've found, in you
