| I love you today like the first night of May
|
| We were waiting for the sun
|
| The blossoms that fell were the first ones to tell
|
| April’s come undone
|
| Baby I’ll keep all the paintings you make
|
| As the winter keeps the spring
|
| You got a way with the light
|
| I got the evening
|
| The garden you laid on the warm saturdays
|
| As the summer passed us by
|
| It holds me in faith as the sky goes to grey
|
| If only for a while
|
| Baby I know that the fire’s getting low
|
| And soon will fall to ash
|
| But you got a shine in your eyes
|
| That I won’t ever have
|
| Never look down at the holes in the ground
|
| Keep your eyes ahead
|
| Burn like a ray through tomorrow
|
| Today is already in the past
|
| And when the day comes that tomorrow is done
|
| And you are left behind
|
| I’ll have the light in your eyes
|
| And you’ll have all of mine |
