OUR PIECE OF TIME

YOU SPEAK TO ME

 

ACROSS CLEAR BLUE SKIES

 

DOWN BY THE RIVER

 

FLOWING THROUGH THE TREES

 

I FIND YOU THERE

 

AN AFFECTIONATE SMILE

 

SILENT IN THE MAGNIFICENCE

 

OF THE AFTERNOON

 

WE WALK TOGETHER

 

LUSH MEADOWS BECKON

 

SUNLIT , AND WILDFLOWERS

 

RESPLENDENT IN THEIR VIBRANT COLORS

 

DRAW US IN

 

FROM THE DAPPLED SHADE IN THE TREES 

 

 

IN THE LIGHTNESS AND PURITY

 

OF THE DAY

 

WHAT IS IT

 

THAT'S INSIDE YOUR HEART

 

WOULD YOU LIKE TO KEEP IT THERE

 

OR BREAK IT DOWN

 

AND TEAR IT ALL APART

 

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE

 

HOW DO WE PROCEED 

 

 

MAYBE THIS IS ALL WE NEED

 

REACH OUT AND CLAIM

 

OUR PIECE OF TIME

 

OUR HEARTS SEASONED WITH LOVE

 

SHOULD FIND THE WAY

 

AND EVEN AS THE SUN IS SINKING

 

I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO COME AWAY

 

FROM THE PLEASURE OF YOUR COMPANY

 

YOUR LOVE AND CHARM

 

A HABIT SWEET IN ITS INNOCENCE 

 

AND SERIOUS IN ITS DESIRE

 

TO BE WHOLE FROM PART

 

 OF SOMETHING MADE COMPLETE

IN YOUR EYES

IN YOUR HEART

THERE NEEDN'T BE AND END

ATTACHED TO WHERE WE START

LIKE THE STARS THAT FILL THE SKY

THE GLORY WAITS FOR US TO SEE

TO TAKE OUR HEARTS EVEN HIGHER

I'LL TAKE YOUR LOVE

IN THE DYING LIGHT

I MAY NOT HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS

BUT THERE'S A CHANCE

THAT YOU MIGHT

MAYBE THIS IS ALL WE NEED

REACH OUT AND CLAIM OUR PIECE OF TIME
