(For my love, my heavenly Joanna!  )You and I By: Noah Eaton 12/8/02 My heart is beating strong, making angels in the snow Embracing your silhouette through the winter cold Once an infidel, now feeling like a prima donna When your smile permeates me like A Mona Lisa Eight years have passed since I was made in the shade And all I could have been has faded away A wonderful life for me that could have gone post-mortem That ever since I first loved myself I’ve helped overcome I used to be lost in William Cowper’s poplar fields Now you have taken me to your Cancun with this smile I cannot yield Treading softly, making cartwheels on the sky Together everything is promising for you and I So sweet Joanna, come and sing with me Offer your sweet spring, my Persephone Where, when, how, and why God will answer all our questions, for you and I So sweet Joanna, come and sing with me Offer your sweet spring, my Persephone Where, when, how, and why God will answer all our questions, for you and I When I’m holding your hand in my dreams Your heart always glistens as bright as the lemon trees Where used to rest a raftered roof Now is a fairy-tale all coming true Magic, legerdemain, the ultimate panacea Anythings possible as long as your love produces from the aorta You can be the queen of your castle, you can be Guinevere You just have to have faith in yourself, and you will perservere I’m guilty of speaking how I feel in circumlocution Cut-and-dry becomes denied when there’s not enough words to describe my affection For you that I feel, and so I’ll make my testimony I won’t sustain one word, make no objections, so hear me, sweetie So sweet Joanna, come and sing with me Offer your sweet spring, my Persephone Where, when, how, and why God will answer all our questions, for you and I So sweet Joanna, come and sing with me Offer your sweet spring, my Persephone Where, when, how, and why God will answer all our questions, for you and I Amen for love, life, and the happiness we share There’s nothing else that even comes close to compare My instincts are all spinning like Thoreau's winter walk at Walden Pond Wherever I go, I keep coming back, allured by your sighs and lovely thoughts Paying the piper has its expenses, but it’s all worth it in the long run Now that I’m soaking up your red summer sun The bluebird of happiness has finally recognized me And you are his sister canary Singing happy ballads deep in my soul Happily ever after , I know that’s how the story goes Joanna, love, you are my green-eyed love dove Who makes me feel seraphic, so deeply lost in your love So sweet Joanna, come and sing with me Offer your sweet spring, my Persephone Where, when, how, and why God will answer all our questions, for you and I So sweet Joanna, come and sing with me Offer your sweet spring, my Persephone Where, when, how, and why God will answer all our questions, for you and I You are my fairest rose, sweet Joanna!
