One day I'll steal the moon

One day i'll steal the moon from up above
I won't take the sun, that can stay
One day i'll take the heart that represents love
You can keep the lust, that's ok
One day i'll take the cherry from the top of the cake
The filling is yours for you to keep
One day I'll take a choice that won't be a mistake
Until then my errors haunt my sleep
One day i'll take the rainbow, stretched across the sky
The crock of gold i'll leave for you
One day i'll make a promise, without you asking why?
I hope you do believe it's true
One day i'll take a truly beautiful song
And I'll keep it hidden away
One day i'll feel like I really DO belong
But when, I really cannot say...

Beautiful! Superb

Beautiful! Superb title!!! (May make a couple of tweakings?) One day i’ll steal the moon from above I won’t take the sun, let it stay! One day i’ll take your heart full of love, you can keep the lust, that’s ok. One day i’ll pluck the red cherry atop the cake The filling is yours for you to keep One day i’ll make a choice I won’t mistake then no errors will haunt my sleep One day i’ll paint a rainbow, stretch it across the sky and the crock of gold, a present, i’ll leave for you One day i’ll make a promise you'll not ask why in hope high and wide, you'll believe it is true One day i’ll sing a truly beautiful song And I won't keep it hidden away One day i’ll feel like I really DO belong when, I really cannot say… (but you'll have heard my voice.) Just some thoughts...for you to move around... or not.... ~A

I have been well and truly

I have been well and truly told off! ;-) I guess there are many things I shouldn't do (smoking being one of them!) ;-) Thank you again for your compliments. They really do mean a lot! Millage x
