lyrics

My eyes don't work too well
Just well enough to see the smile upon your face
My ears don't work too well
Just well enough to hear the time within your voice
As syllables of laughter extend beneath you like a thousand little wings
And your ears listen too because the time within my voice tells them a thousand little things

My mind won't work too well
Just well enough to know the things it knows of you
My heart won't work too well
Just well enough to pump my blood while busy loving you
And your heart's beating too, I can tell because your pulse makes currents in the air
They swirl around the room like little angels weaving waves into your beautiful hair

I wrote this song for you
I wrote the words imagining my life with you
I look back at it now
My eyes see just as well as if they were brand new
Although they can't see clearly when they look upon a universe in disarray
My love for you is like a lens through which I see the world and know that it will be okay

---------

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me my love
Stay
