Put your hand on your heart, feel
and close your eyes
Would something change
when your eyes open
if I'm one step closer?
Listen with one ear, absorb
crashing waves on the shore
What sound prevails
if my deep voice
softly spoke in the other?
Feel the cooling breeze, enhance
the touch of my warm hands
What would be the answer
if my eyes are demanding
I need you tonight
I know you are out there, somewhere
perhaps silent as you sit and wonder
Asking where tomorrow will take you
Hoping for the love to save
and from the routine, an escape
I'll come faster than lightning strikes
and we won't think about tomorrow
You'll be the only star of my sky
forevermore
if you only send me a sign
