Music From The Heart
I play my guitar while you are sleeping.
I look down and see you smile.
I know in my heart, you are worth keeping.
I am happy you’re around for awhile.
I create a song to reflect my feelings.
It reaches deep within my soul.
I never want to hear that you are leaving.
To be yours forever, is my goal.
My guitar and I have seen a lot.
It is with me all the time.
I express my feelings on the spot.
By these rhythms & chords of mine.
You have brought the best out in me.
My heart is singing to you. Can’t you see?
Later, when I finally come to bed.
You roll over toward me.
You warm my shoulder with your head.
This is where I want you to be.
Close enough to feel you near.
To know that you are alive & vibrant.
The warmth of your body, showing no fear.
Your eyes open and you see my grin.
You ask what is wrong?
I say things couldn’t be better.
I tell her I love her in a song.
She smiles as her eyes get wetter.
My guitar and I have seen a lot.
It is with me all the time.
I express my feelings on the spot.
By these rhythms & chords of mine.
You have brought the best out in me.
My heart is singing to you. Can’t you see?
Her house is down on Cherry Drive.
And there’s a tree in her backyard.
A limb rubs against the outside.
When the wind is blowing hard.
We are safe and warm within.
Snuggled in our little love nest.
I have a feeling, it’s about to begin.
Because I know that she’s the best.
