Short Breath of Time
Listen to the sweet whispering wind
As it tears through your long hair
The sun glistens off your eyes
And in them I see myself alive
Feel my heart beat with yours
The rhythm of a sweet song not heard
I feel the world escape from my thoughts
Its only you and me
See the clouds drift about above our heads
The day drifts to night in its typical way
Can you see the flowers close their eyes tonight?
As my love is shown in myriad ways
Taste my lips on yours
I will rest my weary bones by your side tonight
Take away all my pain from everyday life
Only in your eyes
Smell the sweet scent of love
That brings back those memories of
All that you once had before me
But I am here tonight
To hold your heart and make everything right
But the short breath of time
Brings back its truth not mine
Our love is a dream that no one else can see
