A song without the music is, well, just the lyrics … but hence the rhyme in these words. So while I continue to strum my guitar and contemplate a rhythm and melody to go with these words, please hum along and provide your own beautiful lilt to fill them out wherever you ‘hear’ them.

In Your Love I Choose to Stay
I awake with breath upon my ear
Eyes closed I know you’re near
Dreams don’t come when we’re awake
Morning stars fill the sky
I crack the dawn, you mend the day
Stitched together for loving sake.
With a look, you chase the night
You are the sun
You are my bright
The moon pulls us together tight
Fills our oceans, divides our tides,
Gives us strength, gives us light.
An eyelash flutters on my cheek
Pulling sand from corners bleak
Desire we meet
Hope we seek
Green are the eyes
With which my fears are beat.
My heart hears you, it beats in two
A smile on pillow meant for me
Petals rose blooms a lily
Glistening with morning dew
Kiss me once and kiss me two
Forever mapped on your lips true.
Curtains open, my dreams know day
No more running, no more
Searching chances for mistakes –
In your love, you show me the way
By your love I accept what may
In your love I choose to stay.
I awake with breath upon my ear
With a look, you chase the night
An eyelash flutters on my cheek
My heart hears you, it beats in two
Curtains open, my dreams know day
In your love I choose to stay.
