The sound of your voice
Wondrous and beautiful
It stops me to steal my heart
Like the wings of an angel
Tender and soft
It uplifts me through my darkest day...

It tells me that we could be together
As friends, lovers, or more
I hang on the sound from those lips
As I stand in the shadows
With your tales of love echoing above...

The stare of your eyes
Consumed with the passion
And music that holds hostage to my heart
Like chocolate mountains
That caputures the sky
They reveal all your emotions...

They tell me that you're like no other
Your true, loyal and kind
They have me captivated, blinded by your light
As I stand in complete awe
Admiring the splendor shining from those eyes...
