Only You
As a yellow bird sings gaily
On a balmy summer day,
Crooning melodies so sweet
That honeybees stop and stare,
So my heart beats for you.
Like a solitary snowflake
Floating slowly to the ground,
Shining brightly, silver flare,
A majestic masterpiece,
So my heart beats for you.
As a solid oak stands regally
In earthen permanence,
Deeply rooted in the ground,
Unmoved by changing times,
So my heart beats for you.
‘Til my lungs are filled no more,
‘Til my heart beats its last,
‘Til my soul departs this body,
And from dust to dust returns,
My heart beats for you…
Only you.
