Changes In Me

Open eyes to bright sunshine 
This feels like the first day 
Can't imagine what went before
Like a scene from an Ibsen play

The thought of you a lightning bolt
The kind that hits you twice
You are the catalyst demure
Sin pays a heavy price

I'm singing a new song
Euphoric and free
I can see the changes in you 
Come see the changes in me

I sniped at the words you used
I was jealous of your look
A vision from a catwalk
A princess from a Tolstoy book

I've put these days behind me
The truth has been my guide 
Your heart lighting up the way
Elegance personified

I need you more than you can see
So never forget
It's the changes in you 
That caused the changes in me

Behold my new tune 
Call it destiny
I bless the changes in you
Come bless the changes in me
