To be in your favour
To be in your love
Is the place i long to be
To enter there and never leave
For in your movements
My heart comes alive
Pulse quickens
Adrift in your eyes
I long to know you
To feel your touch
In a pale autumn night's moon
Where the leaves, like confetti,
Would fall all around us
And you, wrapped in my winter coast
I would wear you everywhere
Long slender fingers
On the lapels
And the light in your eyes
I would pull you close
To defy the cold
Of a winter soon to come
You smile, the hint of your dimples warms me
If i could only make you smile
Like the smile you show me now
And have it forever
I could greet the day with a cheerful heart
Knowing I'm who i said i would be
We iron out the bumps along the road
We put to bed our fears
W wish my speech was straight like arrows
Finding their way to your soul unwavering
For i stumble over words
And fail to tell you just what i feel
When all this time I've been eager to take you
To bring you into me
To share the dreams i see on that horizon
To live the lives we were given
To hold you below the stars
To show off my baby to the Milky Way
Who in my arms would stay
