I love to watch you move swaying like a child

I have always wanted to know you

Then you gave to me, the greatest gift of all your stories

Sunrise in the sky, rivers come alive

The trees will carry messages for me

Born in different lands across the highest seas

I would tremble thinking about you

Then the winter came, your tales of love remain

Ice, snow, the wind and rain

As a boy he'd always heard

The meaning of life hidden in a single word

Serenading through his years

A talented man surrounded my mystery

Gather all the missing days

All the ones that slipped away

He will bring them back and not speak

Lay them at my golden feet

He gave me one thousand roses

Even before he had known my name

Knowing from when they were flying

No more the sadness that was my flame

In a time when we all dream

A weaver of words who everyone wants to meet

Will he always wish to be

A teller of tales a sower of magic seeds

We were actors in a play

Celebrate the ancient way

Listen to the songs of old

In the saddest key of all

He gave me one thousand roses

Even before he had known my name

Knowing from then we were flying

No more the sadness that was my flame

Then he gave to me, the greatest gift of all

Love
