We Cannot Be Wrong

–This is a little lyric, it has a sort of tune that entered my head as I wrote it.  Not exactly detailed poetry like I’m known to write.  But I think, considering who it’s for, making it musical makes more sense.

[Verse1]

I’ve always said that distance was a good thing,

That for each mile it meant the bond was stronger,

I’ve had some heartaches holding to this dream,

And for awhile I thought my heart would love no longer,

But I am often surprised by twists of Fate,

Like the first night when we talked for hours,

And though my heart has broken and I’ve lost much faith,

I find that something inside still remains.

[Verse 2]

I thought I’d set myself up to be broken down,

That the blows I’ve felt were too much to take,

But love like all great things comes the long way round,

I set myself up to be amazed,

I know with you I’ve made mistakes,

I don’t deserve a second chance,

I’ve been broken down and I’m so far away,

And yet you gave me one anyway….

[Chorus]

And being everything,

Is so much simpler than it’s been before,

With you It’s not an option, it’s the only thing,

Don’t know which I want more — to speak or sing,

So I stay silent and just smile and stare, 

I watch you sleep so that at least my eyes are there,

And late at night when I close my eyes,

I feel a piece of you has crossed the lines,

And I whisper as I fall asleep:

We cannot be wrong.

[Verse 3]

I have loved before but it was incomplete,

I gave everything I thought I could but it wasn’t right,

I’ve never felt these things you do to me,

You’re like loving bits of brilliant starlight,

It’s a wondrous thing to hear your laugh,

Give me that and I need nothing more,

I’ll call you up without a thing to say,

Just to have you smile and look my way…

[Chorus]

And being everything,

Is so much simpler than it’s been before,

With you It’s not an option, it’s the only thing,

Don’t know which I want more — to speak or sing,

So I stay silent and just smile and stare, 

I watch you sleep so that at least my eyes are there,

And late at night when I close my eyes,

I feel a piece of you has crossed the lines,

And I whisper as I fall asleep:

We cannot be wrong.

[Bridge]

And my heart beats stronger

When I say your name,

And every breath comes quicker,

With each passing day,

We’re getting closer,

The past is far away,

All I want to do is love you,

All I want to is say:

[Chorus]

Being everything,

Is so much simpler than it’s been before,

With you It’s not an option, it’s the only thing,

Don’t know which I want more — to speak or sing,

So I stay silent and just smile and stare, 

I watch you sleep so that at least my eyes are there,

And late at night when I close my eyes,

I feel a piece of you has crossed the lines,

And I whisper as I fall asleep:

We cannot be wrong.

[Modified Chorus]

And you are everything,

All my dreams and more…

You are the only thing,

The only one that I adore,

So when I’m silent, when I just smile and stare, 

Think of the time when I’ll be there

And late at night when you close your eyes,

Know that I part of me has crossed the lines…

And if you listen, as you fall asleep…

You’ll hear me whisper in your dreams:

We cannot be wrong.

We cannot be wrong….

We cannot be wrong…..

We’re in love.
