I promised to write you a song
I promised to write you a song
For when I first looked at you
I knew you would make tear well up in my eyes
I knew you were the one
Yet every time I take my pen
To start writing you a song
I can’t write more than a few words
I thought to write
Of how good it is to be your companion
How special it feels when we walk hand in hand
About our shared laughter
Of intimate conversations so deep, so special
That I want to be your confidant
as you lay bare your deepest thoughts
Bleeding out your heartaches freely to me
Making your dreams my own
I wanted to write
Tell you that you are so beautiful
But do I have words enough to describe your beauty
Won’t I fall short by comparing you with a beautiful bird
A bird that would fly away from me in time
Won’t I fall short by saying you are as beautiful as a rose
A rose whose petals wither away and drop off
Won’t I fall short by saying you are more beautiful
Like nothing I have ever seen before
Yet I have seen you
And you are something
And you are so beautiful
I could write
About you sheer strength of character
Of how you always keep you head high
That you remain strong even when weakness abounds around you
That struggles in life never make you fear to put your foot forward
That no one can claim they are your shoulder to lean on
Yet so many look up to you for that strength to go on
I should write
A song about your intelligence
How you understand me so deep and so true
Of your every choice of intelligent words when with me
Your sheer knowledge of the world over
About your ability to understand my self
Or of how you complete me
Maybe I should write
How you totally take me out of this world
Of how you pluck the breath out of my lungs
With your every exquisite touch
About how you run my mind through wild emotions
And run through my mind of past wild moments of ecstasy
But I won’t write
For I find myself babbling
And so… I resolved
I will sing you a song instead
A universal song of adoration
One that will hide my fears
One that will lose my disenchantment
in the face of desperate pursuit
One that will always write a smile on your face
For all in all
You are the song that I need to singI promised to write you a song
