I’d like to whisper to you how much I want you
Right on your earlobe
So you feel every word.
I’ll hold you for moments in silence
Just to hear your heart beat
Because I mean to love you
And my heart is sure.
For you must know
That my heart beats for you
You must know
That you are all my heart wants.
Someday you’ll find the one
Who’ll love you and not know why.
And you’ll be the only star among the stars in their night
They’ll find beauty in you;
The kind that is rare
And the things you hate about yourself,
Will be the things they’ll love.
Maybe you’ll find ‘em and it’ll feel like fireworks
The kind that sparks a great love story
Or like the wind
Sweetly and softly embracing you
When you’ve found the One who is Love
Now Love will find you.
Someday you’ll find the one
The one who’ll stay.
I wonder the feeling
On the eve of your wedding day
And in the morning when you wake up
When you see your wedding dress hung up
When the whole world seems to stop for you.
I wonder the feeling
When you are getting ready
Ribbons and flowers everywhere
And then you put on that beautiful dress
You will feel like a princess I’m sure
When the whole world seems to stop for you.
I wonder the feeling
When you wear the veil
When it flows down your face
To hide your beauty only for a while
Until your prince unveils you
Yes, the whole world will stop for you.
I wonder the feeling
Down the aisle to meet your prince
Oh, it must be the best feeling!
When he takes your hand
‘Tis the feeling of love
And God Himself is pleased.
Please don’t hurt my heart
Don’t sentence it
At least not intentionally
To a prison of pain and death
For when my heart gets suicidal
I myself die with it.
In the newness of love
I found myself falling deep
A taste of its sweet poison
The awakening of love
Like rain in the harmattan
My dry cracked heart welcomed love.
A strong self now weakened
The walls of pain broken
Its sweetness like an epidermic
Quickly sweeping through the heart
Yet, like an awakening
Reviving the emotions from the dead.
