I Love You Like Never Before


She watched the long tailed swans crossing the bridge in the moonlight 
Air and wind took turns taking her breath away on this cold blistery night 

Her notion of solitude ends with footsteps and a voice cutting in silence  
“What are you contemplating?”  He asks with a kind and gentle askance 

“I was wondering if swans ever get blue you know do they ever get sad.”
“Don’t know bout fuzzy animals but I know there’s blues to be had!”

He extends a hand to her, “Names Jim, I’m on my ways to the show”
Why don’t ya come along I’ll show you how we fellas kill the crow!”

A smile a tilt of her head and he knew she was more than listening to him 
“Just call me Jane, please to meet you Sir, well be better get going, Jim 

Dim lights tables up against a wall when the jazz band started to play 
It was like they poured honey in her ears, they chased her blues away 

It was Ali Harper and Nick Granville playing a duo called Song Bird 
They drank tequila and listened to Ali crooning out the velvet world

And the song birds keep singing like this, I love you like never before 
And the song birds keep singing like this, I love you like never before.

    It makes me wanta be that man there with this woman. I could only imagine the night to be great and the music would only set the scene.. It seems like a night that true love would be found between the two.
