I’m up all night
Trying to write a love song
But poetry that doesn’t rhyme
Really doesn’t translate to my guitar
I fell in love with you
Like the sunset over the ocean
Like the wind whistling through the trees
Like the birds waking me with their songs
Like a melancholy memory
Like a melody that soothes the soul
But none of that works in my song
I just want our song
It doesn’t have to be written by me
Because when you’re by my side
Love is all that surrounds us
No music, no sounds at all
But it’s the middle of the night
And I still haven’t written a lyric
Not one line that can say how much
I need you like the sun needs to set
Disappearing into the ocean to cool down
You are the light of the sun
Illuminating everything
And never noticing I am here
Because there is so much else to focus on
