And Breath Eludes Me

When I think of all the beautiful things I've seen,
the wonderful sounds I've heard,
all the gentle things I've touched…
I think of you, and breath eludes me -
a gasp held deep inside so my heart can breathe.
When your eyes touch mine,
I want to fill your heart with passion,
fan the fires of desire,
surround your soul with love beyond reason,
and whisper I love you…
as if that was the first sound you'd ever heard,
as if the words were created for you alone.
When I think of all the beautiful things I've seen…
the wonderful sounds I've heard…
the gentle things I've touched…
it's the heart, the soul of me seeing a vision of you,
and breath… eludes me.

lovely, lovely, lovely, your sweet lady must surely have loved this one

really like the repeat of the 'theme' line at the bottom

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
