It Would Take a Million Years

There's a moment in the morning, when the light is streaming in, spreading gold upon the pillow, and your hair is like the sun. I am filled with such emotion, that my heart is overcome. If I woke you, could I tell you? Could my words be like a song? If I woke you, tried to tell you,.. it would take a million years So I'll hold you, just to show you,.. when my words have disappeared There's a moment every morning, when I watch you start the day, Making toast, or pouring coffee, you'll just take my breath away. I am struck without a warning, without words that I can find Do you know the pure devotion, that I carry deep inside? When the silence could be broken, all my words will seem to hide There are words I've never spoken. Do you know how much I've tried? There's a moment in the evening, when the moon is on the rise. You'll be looking from the window,. and the stars shine in your eyes. There's so much that I should tell you. But, my words have disappeared There aren't words enough to tell you..., It would take a million years... It would take a million years _____________________________________________________________ Lyric to the music "Homeward Bound" By William Joseph
