I Look at You and Think: I Cannot Live

Music: Serenade for
Strings. |
I look at you and think: I
cannot live Without you; you're the person of my dreams. Of course I know I can, but I must give My heart room to tell it as it seems. Romance must have a language fit for feeling More than fits between the earth and sky. For love there cannot be a floor or ceiling: My love goes down too deep and flies too high. So when I say I cannot live without you, Know I can't imagine so much pain; And when I claim to always dream about you, Well, know the moon is happy once again. The sun reveals cold truths for all to see, But I must light my love with poetry. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
