Tall slim and slender
A smile I promise to remember
Not because I'm nice
Rather just a selfish device
That brings joy to my life
Something to hold onto
Believe in when times run thin
They always will
For every valley is followed by a hill
Ups and downs
Chaos tries to turn us around
Strip us free from all the good that we've found
Like you and me
There's something there I believe
Understand your skepticism to conceive
And so in return I ask nothing
Not quite yet
Not a bookie asking for a bet
Not trying to be another regret
Just know I'm not like all you've come to expect
I have my fortunes, have my shortcomings
But for eyes like yours, what distances aren't worth running?
Travel the globe from east to west
For a single embrace, a beat of the heart inside your chest
Powerful and free, a life filled of possibility
A soul that knows the passion it seeks
A boy that knows, how fortunate he was to meet
Yesterday a stranger
Today a visage that words cannot do justice
Hope for a chance
To ask your hand and dance
Let the music swipe us from this Earth
In a single moment free the wicked and cursed
Lifted from a world where trouble exists
Say a prayer tonight for just a kiss
Never hope for the world
But never forget it could come with a single girl.
