That kid in a candy store sound, of wonderment complete
The same by heart expound, enthralled each quickened beat
From whispers beyond tangible, beyond the seeking eye
As spoken with you tenderly, each pulse the same reply

Adoring you so far from here, in memory quite clear
The same expressions passage of these distances so dear
From once so long ago, to now so far ahead
As spoken with you tenderly, the same to still be said

And yet to be contented in the stillness of forget
The same themes resurrected, the same impatience let
From mystical proportions to silence of accept
As spoken with you tenderly, each thought a promise kept
