Beginnings (with JustRose)

My absolute favorite Chicago song. Double helix. I installed the foundation and Rose expertly applied the mortar with her magic trowel...

Oh, I can hear that intro with the strum, and

we're together and all that matters is

horns quietly building then falling into a decrescendo,

those days that quite changed what I was

‘cause I’m silent when I think of you and

those moments shimmer within us...

When I kiss you I feel a thousand different feelings,

and all my soul just hums

and I never think of bad words to say

on rose-hued and ecstatic days

just silent as words melt away
hearts full of doubt just led astray

yet still, this feeling floods my heart

when I'm with you and all that is

it’s only just the start

of what i want to feel ...

and it will last forever -

and time will hold no sway.

Just like the ending of the song

where the percussion

that grasps our yesterdays

and its distant ache

beats like my heart with yours.
