Mystery of the Heart

What spell is this I've fallen into, maybe a dream is all it is

As today passes, what I feel may go away, its power over me a memory past

When tomorrow comes I will awake to a freedom within my heart that only I will know

A freedom something I think I would rather not to last

 

What can I do, how do I give in as I fall for this longing taking hold

The sweetest of all dreams that I may ever know

And I wander aimlessly to this call, to this dream, this nameless thing

Never looking back, onward through life and dreams I gladly go

 

Drawn with every breath I take to pay heed to its call to its hold

Were I to give into its want, embrace it with all I am and all I have

Give my heart freely and without regret, offer it for all it is

Become a part of this dream of this day, give it my heart to save

 

I have wandered around this thing much too long I finally see

It's there to guide me, to show me, to keep me in its throes

Capture my heart, place it with the one who truly cares

Allow this thing called love, gather it from someone who knows

 

And there she is, as sweet as my dreams allowed her to be

Surely an angel without wings, and all that love could ever be

What would hold me now to this mystery of my heart I've found

Is the love within this dream, my heart, that fell from her heart to me
