lyrics

In every instant of every age there seems to be nothing but trouble in the world, But this it not a song about the witless woe of the world, This is a song about a girl.

She is the wonder of my fugitive life, My spiritual bride; my earthly wife, Her golden hair captures the sunset's beauty, There is a rainbow in her eyes only I can see, I just watch her move across the room; I’m hypnotized, Just drinking in her grace oh how much I’ve realized, If not for her I may have never really known love's flavor, Now her sweet kisses I hoard and savor.

Oh my love we both know how the words are a poor substitute, But all is to say; I love you.

Her skin is a world to me, This secret kingdom mine where I am free, A ten year troubadour I am of her song, My love no matter what; no matter who; we were never wrong, They say forever is a long time; well I hope this true, Forever would be just an empty box of time without you, My tongue will never tire of telling how beautiful you are, My hostess of Heaven; my nearest star.

My love you make the whole of the weary world new, And all is to say; I love you.

Her lips make poetry of everything she says, I wanna be their only food I must confess, She is the soul of my conscience and all things right and true, My best advice; she will always pull me thru, She’s in my thoughts every moment of the waking day, Delivers my dreams at night in her own unrivaled way.

You are my one constant; my everyday proof of goodness in the world, Everything you do is a wonder for my witness my beautiful girl, And when my little life finds its end it will not have been in vain, If I made you happy then let that be my everlasting fame.

I say it everyday by task but I say it true, All is to say; I love you.
