The Smile In Your Eyes

I lost myself in the smile of your eyes
And found the world around would disappear
I welcomed your arms with all it implies
And felt the warmth of your smile coming near
To nourish my heart with love so it blooms
In my realm of brighter shades that was dark
To bring to it such vibrant colored plumes
And add beauty to this life we'll embark
Like thieves in the night treasures to capture
We will steal the days and build a rampart
And drink from the cup of passion's rapture
To run with the winds the winds are our heart
Whether dusk of dawn or a sunset's splay
Gave you my heart when I asked you to stay
