Love of Words

Told you I love to read

As the sunset grazed the trees (the trees, the trees)

And in that golden light

You shared your love of words with me (with me, with me)

I listened closely to you

I watched your lips move

Contagious excitement in your eyes

As you sang to me of all the things beyond the seas

I listened, rapt and humbled

Every day I spend with you is like a poem

Opening upon a purer truth (purer truth)

Though the story that you try to tell's a fiction

Just the telling makes me fall for you (fall for you)

I like to sit just quietly and smell the flowers

Ask you to tell me once again

As you sang to me of all the things beyond the seas

(tell me again, tell me again)

I listened, rapt and humbled

(tell me again, tell me again)

I'll listen to your tale till the very end
