Blessed throbbing redundancy

Faintly cautious harmony

And steamy cant of sloe eyes

Softening a fierce and instant aura

This

Relevant incendiary modernity

Unfragile ageless mien

And curving lyric of a lip

Lush and precious real estate

This

Is and ever will be you

The things your hands make me want to

But if I did decide to go that way

The one that I'd surrender to is you

Because I love you.

Because I love you ...

For you I'd swim into the deep

For you I'd lose what I can't keep

For you I'd color outside the lines

For you I'd turn around on a dime

Darlin' I don't think that I should say

What I want to when you look at me that way

But if I ever say those fateful words

The only one I'll say them to is you

Because I love you.

Because I love you ...

For you I'd hold back the tide

For you I'd go back to the dark side

For you I'd smile that knowing smile

For you I'd walk that extra mile

Honey I don't think that I should see

The places you seem to want to take me

Because I'd leave a lot behind it's true

But if I change my mind I'll go with you

Because I love you.

Because I love you ...

For you I'd taste forbidden fruit

For you I'd take an alternate route

For you I'd chase that rainbow down

For you I'd forfeit any crown

Baby I don't think I'll learn that song

That tries to make a right out of a wrong

But if I knew you wanted me to sing it

No force on earth could ever silence me

Because I love you.

Because I love you ...

In your arms is paradise for me

In your eyes I see all I want to see

In your heart is the soul of my creed

In your hand is all the joy I need

Because I love you.

Of a fairy tale
You can take the future

Even if you fail

I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream -- I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination

Makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness

Still another mile

I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream -- I have a dream
I’ll cross the stream -- I have a dream

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

~W.S.~

So far, so near in woe and weal;

O loved the most, when most I feel

There is a lower and a higher;

Known and unknown; human, divine;

Sweet human hand and lips and eye;

Dear heavenly friend that canst not die,

Mine, mine, for ever, ever mine;

Strange friend, past, present, and to be;

Loved deeplier, darklier understood;

Behold, I dream a dream of good,

And mingle all the world with thee.

Thy voice is on the rolling air;

I hear thee where the waters run;

Thou standest in the rising sun,

And in the setting thou art fair.

What art thou then?  I cannot guess;

But though I seem in star and flower

To feel thee some diffusive power,

I do not therefore love thee less:

My love involves the love before;

My love is vaster passion now;

Though mixed with God and Nature thou,

I seem to love thee more and more.

Far off thou art, but ever nigh;

I have thee still, and I rejoice;

I prosper, circled with thy voice;

I shall not lose thee though I die.

~Alfred, Lord Tennyson~

How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading too fast?

How do you lose yourself to someone
And never lose your way?
How do you not run out of new things to say?

And since you know we're always changing,
How can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear his name?

I know the way I feel for you is now or never
The more I love, the more that I’m afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever ... forever

If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day
To make it better as it goes
With any luck then I suppose
The music never ends.
