What should I call this love, girl?
Innocent or pure?
Should I call it heavenly?
I am quite unsure
Should I term it honest?
Should I term it true?
Should I call it unknown?
Oh just tell me what to do
Should I name it profound?
Should I name it free?
Are there more adjectives
That haven’t come to me?
Do I really need to name it?
Does it matter still?
Whatever our love may be
I know, girl, how it feels
Though I can’t describe it
I know just how it feels
It’s a pretty good night
To turn off the lights
And spend some time dreaming alone
Who wouldn’t admire
This burning desire
To explore all that is unknown?
…
O’ you beautiful dame
You call out my name
Sending me all the intricate signs
My desires are burned
My heart — it is turned
When music and love combines
…
Time is standing still
Her hand guiding my will
Tying me to your charming chain
The night begins to sink
The stars start to blink
Loneliness then loses again
Millions of beauties grace the land
Of them, thousands I have seen
But nobody could match the grace
Of Stephanie from my dreams
…
The sun it glitters, the stars they shine
The silver moon it proudly beams
But they don’t come anywhere close
To Stephanie from my dreams
…
The bees fly amongst the flowers
A cool breeze floats over a stream
But their charm pales in front
Of Stephanie from my dreams
…
On every road that I have walked
Under every cloud that I may seem
There’s no mortal ever born
Like Stephanie from my dreams
…
If mystery was a giant ladder
I’d be at the bottom seam
And atop she’d hold her solo crown
The Stephanie from my dreams
I jumped out of my window
Into a whole new realm
There I found a girl
That got me overwhelmed
…
Her eyes were deep and magical
Her voice was soothing sweet
Her skin was fair and glowing
And the picture was complete
…
I chased her across the land
Followed her through the streams
Pursued her o’er the mountains
Through every vision and dreams
…
Then I lost sight of her
I felt dejected, hurt and broke
Reality came back to me
The moment that I awoke
Today I love you because
Yesterday’s a dream
Tomorrow’s uncertain
Today is all the moment that we could gain
…
Today I love you because
Yesterday we weren’t born
Tomorrow we’ll be dead
Today is all that we would have had
…
Today I love you because
Yesterday I got a reason
Tomorrow I would have more
Today I would love you even if I had none
…
Today I love you because
Yesterday I was lost
Tomorrow I’d be complete
Today I take the journey with you
Ask me to die for you
I’ll do that without a thought
But don’t ask me to go away
That I just cannot
…
Ask me to die for you
I’ll do it smilingly
But don’t break my precious heart
That I’ve nurtured lovingly
…
Ask me to die for you
I would feel no pain
Forgetting you is a tougher
Tougher task for my brain
…
Ask me to die for you
That would seem easygoing
But don’t ask me to leave you
My love for you is growing
…
Ask me to die for you
Cease my continuing
But don’t ask me to live for you
That I’m already doing
What is there in a love song?
Words on a blank page
Dots in some fine order
Bounded by a boundless cage
…
What is there in a love song?
Just one like the other
One speaks of warm romance
Passion and lust in another
…
What is there in a love song?
They sound the same to me
Retold with a narrative
In sugar-sweet allegory
…
What is there in a love song?
A hundred I can write
Yet not have anything at all
For my little heart’s delight
…
What is there in a love song?
Not a thing it does reveal
My heart’s sensitivity
How badly it fails to steal
…
What is there in a love song?
That which I cannot see
If you want to know my heart
Just come around and sit with me
