Come Sail With Me---A Collaboration With Jeannie Minor

We talked of love and all the things
we thought that it should be 
but never guessed we'd find the one
so truly meant to be.
With everything 
we've come to know
of how we've sailed our sea,
It's crystal clear 
our kindred souls
want what you want from me.

I know what you want from me
because I want it too.
When I hear your voice I know 
you feel the way I do.
Baby just believe in us
our dream just might come true.
I know you feel it too,
wanting what I want from you.

Now I count the seconds till
I hear your voice once more.
Happiness and laughter 
fills the heart that I adore.
Just to make you laugh and smile
thrills me to my core.
All my dreams came true cause you 
want what I want you for.

Knowing you're so far away
it seems so clear to me,
these wanting feelings of desire
feign auspiciously. 
Are we just chasing fantasies 
of never meant to be?
How could two hearts so foolishly
want what you want from me?

The distance that we are apart
Is only there to here
Exhale a breath and I will start
That soon, it will be clear
Though they be but fantasies
The want I want from you
To make our dreams reality
There first must be a clue

I felt your voice inside of me
And know you felt it too
I heard the wanting in your laugh
It stirred desire for you
The dream that we both share and see
Each color, every one
When we sail back on that sea
Will blend with setting suns

The only love which I'm aware
Has no space or time
Once I hold you in my arms
You'll know love of that kind
Where happiness and laughter reigns
And all the tears that fall
Are tears of joy and ecstasy
And we will share them all

The only promise that I make
Is that my words are true
And if you need the want I want
Let's sail the oceans blue
Sail to each island that we see
And share a fantasy
So throw your doubts into the wind
Cast off and sail with me
