Take the depth of the sea
and the bark of the wise oak tree
Mix them in a mold
And they make your eyes
Looking at me.
Take the midnight sky,
With the stars and how they shine
Spin them on a wheel
And it is your hair,
sleek and fine
Take the volcanos heat
and a bakery sweet
stir it up together
and its your heart beat
Take a satin muave
and the greatest salve
shake it up
and you get your voice
so suave
This is what I see when I look at you
All I'd need to carry me through
My life well spent by your side
Neither of us, ever having to hide
And I can hear your heart beating
Though I am so far from home
You carried my heart with you
and it shall never roam.

Take the depth of the sea
and the bark of the wise oak tree
Mix them in a mold
And they make your eyes
Looking at me.
Take the midnight sky,
With the stars and how they shine
Spin them on a wheel
And it is your hair,
sleek and fine
Take the volcanos heat
and a bakery sweet
stir it up together
and its your heart beat
Take a satin muave
and the greatest salve
shake it up
and you get your voice
so suave
This is what I see when I look at you
All I'd need to carry me through
My life well spent by your side
Neither of us, ever having to hide
And I can hear your heart beating
Though I am so far from home
You carried my heart with you
and it shall never roam.
For my one true love. Joshua.
