How do I begin it?

How do I get started?

 

I don't have fancy words to say it.

And I'm unsure how best to show you.

And my memory is not so fine.

Somedays my thoughts are so unclear, they will not toe the line…

 

So if I forget to tell you-

This love- it could last a thousand years.

And if I forget to show you,

my sadness would reach beyond these tears.

 

Twenty years go by as fast as falcons fly.

I still recall the awe, in which you held me,

and your arms encircling me

inside a magic ring

that almost disappeared.

 

For you said I soared above you-

in sky that was much too bright to bear.

But I knew that I would love you.

There'd be no good reason for despair.

 

I'll take robins’ eggs and shades of gray from herons.

I'll combine them, redefine them,

I'll design a sky less dazzling,

I'll be less dazzling.

 

I'll dull the sky.

I'll pale the sun.

I'll live in mist and fog

All brightness I will shun.

Unless we find a way together,

I will not fly.

 

Unless we find a way together,

I will not fly.

I'll dull the sky.

I'll pale the sun.

I'll live in mist and fog,

all brightness I will shun.

 

Unless we find a way together,

I'll choose my best,

my best and strongest feather for you!

I will be so dazzling!

You will be so dazzling!

We'll light up the sky!

 

How did I begin it?

How shall we get started?
