Tell me more about your art,
Only you know what to say,
Read to me right from the heart,
In your voice I’ll find the way.

Answer me with just your eyes,
Make me feel alive today,
On a journey through the skies,
Sailing in the blue and gray.

Show the magic of your dance,
Once the curtains have been raised,
Never miss or lose the chance,
Grace my life and long be praised.

Watching as you walk on by,
Wanting just to catch your eye,
Needing you to help me fly,
Trying hard to smile not cry,

Wishing that you could be mine,
Waiting for the bells to chime,
Dreaming of those eyes that shine,
Thinking of you all the time,

Walking through life's busy throng,
Wondering if I've got this wrong,
Living with your ghost so long,
Drifting in this love so strong.

Hold my hand and share this night,
Stay right here- always in sight,
Keep me in your loving arms,
Protect me from all of my qualms,

Hold my hand and light my way,
Stay right here- be mine today,
Keep me with you for all time,
Share with me this life sublime,

Hold my hand and walk with me,
Stay right here- don’t let me be,
Keep me in your heart and mind,
Don’t let my soul be left behind.

Make me happy,
Make me sad,
Make me all that gets you mad,

Give me colour,
Give me shape,
Give me wings for my escape,

Take my essence,
Take my heart,
Take my image in your art,

Keep me captive,
Keep me whole,
Keep me framed in your control.

Thinking back on all I’ve seen,
On all the pain and joy that’s been,
Everything that has brought me here,
Through all the times of hope and fear,

Thinking of all that I’ve known,
The good and bad that I’ve been shown,
All that has taught me wrong from right,
Through darkest day and darker night,

Thinking back on all I’ve done,
On all the journeys I’ve begun,
Everything that has shaped my mind,
Through all that has been left behind,

Thinking of my life thus far,
Each battle that has left a scar,
This future I could never see,
Through shadows of what could not be,

Thinking on to times ahead,
Of all that I no longer dread,
The life that I have come to know,
This love I hope will ever grow.

She walks in shadows of lost love,
all her dreams long left behind,
abandoned by the gods above,
lost too long for them to find.

Dark clouds hang above her heart,
drops of rain that drench her soul,
cold winds blowing through her mind,
tears beyond her self control.

She stares into the lake of hope,
the waves reflecting on her face,
she lets go of life’s fraying rope,
to find true love in death’s embrace.

Broken hearts before our birth,
Damaged souls that walked the Earth,
Joined as if by simple chance,
Healed as one in life's strange dance,

Pain and loss have stormed our keep,
Grief and anger scarred us deep,
Yet still we stand as one today,
No force could take our bond away.

The worst may still be yet to come,
And all we have may come undone,
But one thing stands forever true,
My heart and soul belong to you.
