The Perfect Song |
As I woke up today I heard the perfect song |
I tried to write it down but I knew all along |
There were no real notes or lyrics in my dream |
Only the echo of a universal theme |
What does it mean? |
Somehow I know the perfect song is about love |
What else is closer to perfection in this life? |
Not like a Friday party Sunday sing-a-long |
More like an early bedtime lonesome Tuesday song |
Just the other day I was addicted to the ordinary |
Just the other day all my emotion was imaginary |
Just the other day |
Then the perfect song washed through me |
Filled my heart with tragic beauty |
Now I hear the perfect song in everything |
Sometimes a hint of music plays inside my head |
I think I know just what it is but then instead |
I realize it’s not a song I’ve ever known |
But it’s a perfect start to what will be my own |
Perfect alone |
But the perfection loses focus as I write |
And my most passionate reflections come off trite |
Even a melody that makes me swoon and sway |
Lingers a moment then the feeling fades away |
I love you more than I can ever express |
In anything but the perfect song |
That’s why it breaks my heart to tell it to you |
In anything but the perfect song |
Anything, anything, anything |
I would do anything |
For you |
