Aryana's Song

Suddenly I see the sunlight
inching it's way across my windowsill
so effortlessly it murders the night
and this ennui inside me has been stilled
but no mere lucky ol' sun can make my day feel so true
no, no
I'm not me until I gaze upon the presence of you

And the rain has cleared it all away
the things that weighed heavily on my soul
and I've been steadily making my way
to get to the end of a love left in the cold
to just find a little glimmer of light in the endless grey
oh yes
and with you here, I seem to have found the day

Now these songs I've been penning
like I'm panning gold from rivers of dreaming
they stumble into imperfect rhyming
but still I try to mean every little thing
it's never quite what I want it all to be
and never could my words match the way you beam
oh yeah, yeah
like when you smile that perfect smile at me

And your eyes have cleared my heart
of dusty remnants of love left alone to die
my feelings so often been torn apart
lighting candles against a hurricane lie
still, it's been worth a little darkness to discover
in you the exactly perfect lifetime lover
for me

Yes, suddenly I see
sunlight where once there were tears
streaming down a face that hasn't felt true in years
oh no no
but every dashed hope is blooming once more
brighter than ever before
for the first time I feel my heart can do no wrong
and it's all because of you
so I guess that's why I'm writing you this song
just my simple way of saying to you
today my soul is feeling bright and new
yes it's true,
I love you and everything you do

"Heaven is paved with broken glass,
since your hammer struck my heart" -XTC
