Music of My Heart
There was music mixed with melody
Unique the song we wrote
Our love composed the lyrics
Every line, each chosen note
Won't you stay like this forever
Just the thought of you divine
The way you stroke my ego
As I'm about to lose my mind
When I urgently need to tell you
A thought that crept into my head
You never fail to head me off
That smile saying 'hush just come to bed'
My senses explode to overdrive
As reason waves and leaves
Submitting to the call you send
Until you are all my eyes can see
Don't change a thing about you
That little frown, the way you think
Where thoughts crash around and clatter
Till you quit with a devilish wink
What the hell are you saying?
Sometimes, I just do not have a clue
Whispers that go way above my head
Then I know, it's that cryptic you
I have held this hand my whole lifetime
know every fingerprint, line and scar
Never change my darling
You're perfect the way you are
I'd awaken every morning
Wondering who you'd be today?
Serious, motivated, anxious
Crazy, wild, passée
Won't you stay with me forever
I know, before a tear drop forms
I know the second you're about to cry
Just by how those eyebrows form
You're leaving me now are'nt you?
Your hands are oh so cold
Your face has lost it's colour
Your too fragile for me to hold
Stay as you are for always
I'll stay too and watch you as you fly
In my mind's eye you'll live eternal
It's just the vessel I watch die.
