best things

The best things in life are free
The sweetest things come so easy
Like falling in love, early in April
Like a drop of dew on a playful tendril
Like summer’s breeze after spring
Like the bathroom orchestra that you sing
The best things in life, I see
Are the simple pleasures, of you and me

Content (I)

He's whispering in my ears now
He's speaking softly to me
Things I've longed to hear. How?
Did that happen suddenly?
Like I fell into a trance now
Under the spell of mystery
His control and subtle power
over the whole of me

He's singing me to sleep now
He's making me lie down
Replete with love, relaxed now
I slowly stop to frown
Like a soft roll in my ears now
Like a pleasant lullaby
I falling into quiet sleep
I'm falling, very deep

He's touching where it hurts now
I can feel the gentle probe
He's rubbing down from up now
And behind my wet earlobe
Like a tingle in my arms now
Lile the sound of gentle waves
That's all that I feel now
When he calls my name

He's watching me asleep now
He's taking extra care
He's making good his words now
Am such a lucky girl!
I will no longer wonder
He's never far from near
I'll never be alone now
He's loved me everywhere

He's begging me to stay now
He says it means a lot
I ask if I can stray now
He smiles, I know it hurts
I have to find release now
I need to disengage
I have to find peace somehow
Without my learned sage

He's helping me be strong now
He's being the strenght I need
I cannnot face the war now
All I can do is heal
He caught me in the storm now
He's kept me safe from harm
I dont know why, but somehow
I feel extremely calm

He's making love to me now
He's touching me again
I find that sweet release now
I find myself again
His words are in my heart now
And so I make the pact
He'll always be my lord now
He'll always have my heart

He's taking me away now
I can't afford to stay
Across the sandy shores now
Into a quiet bay
The waters are behind now
And rivers running dry
I get to start again here
But how is not yet clear...

He's having all my days now
I think of him alone
I always see his face now
even when I'm alone
I know that I am safe now
He's made it all so clear
I can go as I want now
But, I'll rather stay here

Today I lost my dancing shoes
I tried and cried, but did not find
I shan’t dance again and hurt my toes
I shall wait until the dance is kind
Today I lost my talking drum
I tapped and snapped and whistled low
I made a pact and would not hum
Till I find the beat that I love so
Today I lost my drawing pen
I scratched and traced in lonely lines
The top and ends of caves and dens
I shall no longer paint or draw up lies
Today I lost my warring arms
My arms weak from struggling flays
I fight no more the breaking dams
It seems the war is here to stay
Today I lost my darling muse
I hoped and prayed that it would stay
I willed and thought, all to no use
I write no more henceforth this day.
Today I found the greatest gift
Love and life, simple things
I found the place that really fits
My lips have found the song to sing

When we think about love,
we are thinking of happiness
That which I feel when I think about you
when we think about love
we are really thinking about peace
That which I get from being around you
when we think about love
we are truly thinking about devotion
That which my heart is to yours
when we think about love
we are really thinking about forever
That which I hope we see together
when we think about love
it brings a bright smile
knowing you are not alone
when I think about love
My darling, I'm really thinking about you

If freckles were lovely, and day was night,
And measles were nice and a lie warn't a lie,
Life would be delight,-
But things couldn't go right
For in such a sad plight
I wouldn't be I.

If earth was heaven, and now was hence,
And past was present, and false was true,
There might be some sense
But I'd be in suspense
For on such a pretense
You wouldn't be you.

If fear was plucky, and globes were square,
And dirt was cleanly and tears were glee
Things would seem fair,-
Yet they'd all despair,
For if here was there
We wouldn't be we.
