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
