Ballad

In her eyes I see

All the best of me,

A million moonlight walks…..

In her smile I find

The calm that cools my mind,

A life of fireside talks…..

For she is all the world

And everything in between,

The shadows that bid me sleep

The perfection in my dreams

That never seems to stop,

Never seems to slow…

Just goes on and on….

It is all I know….

Or want to…..

When she walks my way

There are no words to say

To define that sort of grace…

And when I hear her voice,

There’s no room nor choice

For the smile that burns my face….

For she is all the world

And everything in between,

The winter snow that dances

The long candle-lit romances,

That never seem to stop,

Never seem to slow…

Just go on and on….

It is all I know….

Or want to….

The way she seems to glow,

The way she shimmers…

It seems unreal…

The way she never seems to know

All the world’s her oyster,

But she doesn’t want it,

She just wants to be in love,

Wish I was the one to be hers…..

In her eyes of gold….

There are things untold…

Wish I knew how to see them all…

Instead I am lost inside

Those great big bright eyes…

Can’t get free nor want to, I just fall….

She is all the world to me,

And everything in between,

All those who see her fall inside,

Those great bright gold eyes…

That seem to never stop,

Never seem to slow…

Just go on and on…

Right into your soul…..

I want her……

And I can’t help but ramble on,

About the eyes, the smile, the lips,

The sweet absorbing cherry kiss…

The way she walks through the throng,

I could watch it all day long,

And never tire….

Never slow….

It is all I ever want to know……

One day my life will end…

And of all the angels that lend

A hand, she will be the one……

And from that day forth the light,

That warms the day long into the night…

Will be her…my perfect sun…..

We will lay in the grass…

And remember all the times past…

When I forgot to say I love you…..

And I won’t need any lies….

When I see those eyes….

All I say of her will be true……

For she is the world to me,

And everything in between,

The night, the day, the everything

The muse of this song I sing…

That never seems to stop…

Never seems to slow…

Just goes on and on….

She is all I know…

Or want to……

Or need to……

Or have to……
