We are One

Man:

Her eyes were so full,

her eyes were so bright,

containing their own

ethereal light.

 

A sky blanketed

with stars

doesn’t seem

too far.

 

Here I watch them,

enclosed in her arms,

under the moon and

safe from harm.

 

(Chorus �" Man)

If I opened my eyes

and saw your light,

would I be blinded

in the night?

 

Tell me:

do you view me

as the center

of your eternity?

As long as you’re near,

our hearts are here.

Sure as the rising sun,

we are one.

(End chorus)

 

Woman:

There was a time

when I stood alone,

caressed by cold

and on my own.

 

I began to believe

when I saw your eyes.

In that moment,

I felt my heart rise.

 

Now there’s no stopping

my feelings inside.

To you, my body

and soul are tied.

 

(Chorus �" Woman)

 

Man & Woman:

At the meeting of our hands,

something did connect.

Within we hoped

each other’s feelings did reflect.

 

As I lay here,

so close to you,

I feel that this all

is pure and true.

 

My heart beats

in time with yours,

the steady tide

pounding the shores.

 

(Chorus �" Man & Woman)

 

M & W:

Don’t ever

let me go.

You are my soul,

don’t you know?

 

If you left,

I would surely break.

With that my heart

would deeply ache.

 

For you I live

and for you I breathe.

With every touch,

it’s you I perceive.

 

Hold me close

and don’t let this die.

Here, for a moment,

is only you and I.

 

(Chorus �" M & W)

For you I live
and for you I breathe.

A truer description of love was ner' found, for this so speaks the heart.
I love the way they both ask only to be loved and to ner' be seperated again, you capture their need and their emotions perfectly, I so adore true love proclaimed, keep em' coming

[Ruth]

This is gloriously carried through!
