A Million Times

I'll write your name with rose petals And lie them on the bed Put lilacs on your pillow case Where you lay your lovely head Your beauty renders me speechless My words have runaway You steal my breath, with just one glance I don't know what to say Your smile can blind the morning sun As you cause the flowers to faint You could make da Vinci more famous But you're much too perfect to paint The poets of old lay down their quills For all of their muses stare For none can find the words to write Of a vision, they find so fair Even the diamond as it touches your skin Shed tears in utter disgrace For no one can see its perfect shine Compared to your beautiful face Even the words that I've written here Are scared of making mistakes For they've asked me to read it a million times Or ever how many it takes
