The Treasure – By D. Montgomery © 2015
Intro: C      G C      F
C                 F
When he looks at you,
             C        G
he can't see what I see,
            C         F
and when he looks at you,
          C        G
he looks right through,
        F               C
and he doesn’t see the flower,
F                C
cannot see your bloom,
F                 Am            Em            
cannot see the treasure that is you.
CHORUS
F                                           C
I've seen you hold you hold your father's glasses,
F                              C
I've seen you swim the rivers wide,
F                                       AM                     G         G7
I've seen you run through fields so broken... to reach the other side and...
F                            c                  F               C
You can run on tired for infinity, or you can stay here next to me.
        F                  C                               G7          G
You can chase until the sun goes down, but I would never leave.

C                 F
When I look your way,
             C        G
I can't know how to say,
         C         F
when I look at you,
         C        G
it's all I can do,
        F               C
to keep myself from singing,
      F                C
to sing of your sweet face,
F                 Am        Em    
dappled in white satin and lace.
Alt Chorus /Ending
        F                  C                               G7          G
You can chase until the sun goes down, but I would never leave.
        F                  C               Am                G7          G
You can chase until the sun goes down, but I would never leave.
F                                 C
I’ve seen you hold your fathers ashes,
F                           C
I’ve seen you swim rivers wide,
F                                    AM                     G         G7
I’ve seen you run through fields so broken to my arms on the other side.
F                       C           AM               C
Here you’ll find your rest now. Sleep sweet darling sleep,
F                     C                G            G7
I’ll hold you until morning and your secrets I will keep…
F                     C                G            C
I’ll hold you until morning and your secrets I will keep…

True loyalty is hard to find and harder to earn
Once its broken there is no mending it
Only through the flames of strife do we find ourselves
L*etting go of someone who is true to you is the biggest mistake you'll make

I sense you so close
If your eyes open
Mine will able to see
I am faithful as if
Your caress is the password
To the wall I've sealed
I adore you as solemn sky
Turns the sea crest
Into gold when the sun sets
And I love you
As you will be, as you are,
As it is, and as long
As always

He says I am the most interesting person he knows
I just laugh and pull him towards me and hug him close

He gets distracted by the T.V and I understand
That I mean the world to him, but his mind wonders

I always shiver when he tells me he loves me
Me, not anyone else, just me that he loves me

He knows that I've fallen in love so many times
Yet he believes in my broken heart, he knows I'm faithful

I fell in love with his honest ways, the way his eyes shined
I didn't fall in love with his body, as I have done that before

I fell for his truth, the way he came right up to me and talked to me
He talked to me first and he never knew how much that meant...

He fell for me before I fell for him, but once I fell, I fell so hard
I've always been afraid of love, afraid of needing someone so much

He knows I'm the queen of fictional love... And yet he trusts me
I do not understand this kind of faith... Yet I have craved it my whole life

Gone are all thoughts of past lovers, no more poems about them
He has gently dominated my mind and conquered what others only dream about

I know I'm not the best person in the world, I'm not the most prettiest girl
But when he tells me he loves me, I literally shine, at least my eyes do

A warmth comes upon my cold heart, soul and mind
When he comes around it is like I become Alaska in summertime

He melts the ice around my soul and makes me want to sing
I have never felt so safe with a guy... Have never known such comfort...

If he were a food he would have to be the most cheesiest of Mac And Cheese
I hope my darkness doesn't seep into his soul... I hope he doesn't change...

My fears are real, so very real... If he leaves me now I don't know what I would do
He makes me so happy and yet he calls himself boring

I just laugh and hold him so very close, for he doesn't know just how much
I love him... How much his love has changed my life...

why do you try to controll me..
do you want to be me?
with a slight switch
if i was a broken toy
you want my body
my genetics
and anything that employs
ME.
you wish you can destroy
ME.
so you can enjoy ?
your jealous
so you try to trick my mind
give me kind advice
as in if i was blind

My blood flows so dutifully
Sweat arrives on cue
Skin protects quite beautifully
Heart beats strong and true

Breath turns up when needed
It hasn't failed in years.
Muscles work unheeded
Faithful as eyes and ears

My body and I
We have so little in common

You make me glad,
He makes me smile.
You make me laugh
And so does he.
You keep me safe,
I feel secure.
And what he says
Makes me bubble.
For I'm with you
But not with him,
I feel happy
As I do sad.
I am split in
Two even halves;
If only I
Could give you each
A piece of me
But faithfully.
