A Chance to Say I Love You
All the world changes
and I grow older still;
Only a single heartbeat
to keep me company.
and I grow older still;
Only a single heartbeat
to keep me company.
You too have left me,
so long ago I scarce remember
Yet every night
you wrap your cold hands
around mine, leading me
to someplace new,
so long ago I scarce remember
Yet every night
you wrap your cold hands
around mine, leading me
to someplace new,
on another wild adventure.
In the land of dreams
we make love in the grass,
sing under the midnight stars
and dance until the morning light.
In the land of dreams
we make love in the grass,
sing under the midnight stars
and dance until the morning light.
In the land of dreams
your hair never grays
and I do not forget
to say I love you.
your hair never grays
and I do not forget
to say I love you.
I LOVE this. In my land of dreams, you are always there....and though I am older and my grey hair and wrinkled face look back at me in the mirror, you are always young....the same as the last time I saw you....you never age in my dreams.
