love song
I set out to write you a love song
In music and in words,
The greatest love song,
The world has ever heard.
I set out to write you a love song
With patterns that came before words
And echoes of a kind of music
That came before music was ever heard.
I set out to write you a love song
From dreams that came before dreams.
I set out to write you a love song
With a love that is just what it seems.
I stepped outside of time.
That is not easy to do.
But I saw the opening
And I did it just for you.
And I stepped outside of place
And outside of myself too.
I didn’t know if I'd make it back
But I did it just for you.
I set out to write you a love song
In music and in words,
The greatest love song,
The world has ever heard.
I started writing from my heart
And went deeper than that.
I went all the way back to the start
And then further back than that.
I returned with a piece of paper
With music and with words
The greatest love song,
The world has ever heard.
But the window was open
And a gale was blowing too
And I watched as the greatest love song
Disappeared into the fiery blue.
There’s things that last a moment.
That have their time and are gone.
Moments of perfection
That sail to the great beyond.
You can’t recall them.
You can’t do it again.
You’ve given your all for them.
They become long lost friends.
An’ so my love,
When soft winds move your trees,
Listen with your heart
An’ hear love blowing in the breeze.
Yes my love,
When soft winds move your trees,
Listen with your heart
An’ hear love blowing in the breeze.
I set out to write you a love song
In music and in words,
The greatest love song,
The world has ever heard.
