I love to hear your laughter
It Thrills me to the bone
I often hear in the same ear
I use when listening to the phone
First time that I heard it
In the realm of almost asleep
Until suddenly I realized what I was hearing
And my heart took a leap
So then I lay there Wide Awake
Annoyed at myself for interrupting me
If you never experienced this for yourself
Then you have no idea to what degree
That your temperature will rise
Or the chill you feel inside
Or the uphill climb you pursue
To get back to what waking just denied
I lay back down and try to relax
Knowing that seeking it..,.
...denies its return
Still I try to quell anything that distracts
Whisperingly quiet I tiptoe towards sleep
Just as I reach
Carefully peering over the edge
I hear it
Then with smile on my face
Time will never ever erase
I tumble with laughter echoing
Down into the deep
That sound now like a photograph
Oh how I love to hear you laugh
I love...i love..
I truly love .....
I love ...to hear you laugh.
