icicles dripping water in the sunshine

icicles dripping water in the sunshine
watching her sleep soundly as the sun slowly sets
i wish this impromptu trip's feeling would last forever
in life sometimes, all we get is what we get

icicles dripping water in the sunshine
watching the small waves try to decide whether or not to crash
i take in what will, in the future, be a moment all but forgotten
in life sometimes, all we get is what we get

icicles dripping water in the sunshine
hearing her wake up as she stretches and makes just-woke-up faces
i smile and say 'good morning' as she slowly makes her way to the bathroom
in life sometimes, all we get is what we get

icicles dripping water in the sunshine
hearing her slow, lazy footsteps make their way towards me
with a sleepyhead kiss, we hold each other watching the sun finish setting
in life sometimes, all we get is what we get

icicles dripping water in the sunshine
sweet december morning for minds to quickly change
without asking, we simultaneously decide to take a quick walk and stay in for the day
in life sometimes, what we get must be treasured in as many possible ways
