Her Face

Sitting in the sun
watching the light through the trees

I look over and see you there
and you look up and smile at me

Little angel, your face is one I've known all along
one I've placed inside my dreams so very long ago
one I've never been able to say no

This moment is perfect
you come to me, you show me what you've found

You laugh
and it's the most beautiful song I've ever heard

I pull you close, never wanting to let you go
and we hold each other for a while

The smell of your skin soothes me, almost to sleep
for it is my own, transformed
it is ours, morphed
my hand on your chest, I feel your heartbeat

My eyes grow misty, treasuring your presence
it is you who has saved me

This moment is perfect
If I died, I would die in happiness
It's alright by me

Little angel, your face is one I know better
better than my own
