'plumb the depths'
______________________

I. (slow melody begins in G minor)

i cannot fathom the sound soul you seem to wear when i’m near,
perpendicular passion without fear-
for the depths are not deep enough to measure our love,
        my dear-
we share a rare connection, 
of honor and affection-
a vow no other lover can speak of...
sent from above
______

CHORUS

you made an exact mark on my heart,
and it bleeds love for NONE but you-
you saw in me things i never thought you knew-
always and forever have been drawn,
your soft heart i stumbled upon-
autumn vows 
of 
thens and nows;
no ruler needed…
                     with a love deep seeded

______

II. (switches to faster melody)

we are created from divine inspiration,
loving me with all your adoration-
weigh me in your arms, 
for i am ethereal and light-
sought only by your sight,
delicate like lullaby scents,
no, love never makes sense,
gentle like spring combing rose petals-
like a feather i brush up against your soft tan skin...
      and ignite the fire of passion within
______

CHORUS

you made an exact mark on my heart,
and it bleeds love for none but you-
you saw in me things i never thought you knew-
always and forever have been drawn,
your soft heart i stumbled upon-
autumn vows 
of 
thens and nows;
no ruler needed…
                     with a love deep seeded 
______

(melody plays for 25 seconds)
______

(switches back to slower melody)

a flawless direct line to my life has been drawn,
i drift o’er eastern skies of our silhouettes - 
for you are my medallion dawn,
              a sunrise no one forgets…

no, the depths are not deep enough to measure our love,
we share a rare connection,
                     of honor and affection-
a promise with faith no other can speak of…
yes, a promise of faith,
                          no other love,
                                    can speak of - - -

you made an exact mark on my heart…
                    and...
               it bleeds for NONE but you

(ends in F minor)
