160 Music To Pledge A Love To

 

“a prose for someone in my life.” The morning of 9/30/03

 

 

I couldn’t see the moon when she stepped into my life

And I couldn’t see the sun when she stepped out of the light

I couldn’t feel the cold when we stepped into the night

Oh, I couldn’t feel the warmth, though she made me feel alright

 

I couldn’t see the girls as they walked across my path

And I couldn’t check a girl without facing all her wrath

I couldn’t live a day without nursing to her laugh

Oh, we should stay at home tonight, I’ll make a bubble bath

 

I shouldn’t breathe the air if I can’t breathe it by her side

I shouldn’t hide my fears, although she knows I’ve tried

I shouldn’t kiss the moon without first saying goodnight

Oh, I shouldn’t write a tune if it ain’t for her I write

 

I couldn’t hear the sounds when she whispered in my ear

And I couldn’t feel my legs when I shook with nervous fear

I couldn’t see the clouds when the sky was all but clear

And I couldn’t feel the rain as she cried and held me near

 

I couldn’t feel the breeze when she breathed upon my face

And I couldn’t see a thing but her beauty, coup de grace

I couldn’t feel the time as it passed by as I chased

I couldn’t spoil her rotten, though I did, just in case

 

I couldn’t feel the burn when she lay across my chest

And I cannot feel alone, when I know I love you best

I shouldn’t feel distressed, for I know our love is blessed

Oh, I can’t wait for the days we bring our babies home to nest

 

I couldn’t steal a kiss without going home to brag

And I couldn’t take your hand without first asking your dad

I can’t describe our feelings shared or all the love we’ve had

And so I’ll stay at home tonight to tell a lonely writing pad
