Mi amor |
|
As you pause beside the lilacs |
|
I watch you take them in |
|
You start the morning like a prayer |
|
That;s the way your days begin |
|
And if I could be a petal |
|
Which you touch before you go |
|
Then with this branch I'll scratch the dirt |
|
And that's the seed I'll sow |
|
Mi amor |
|
As you dive beneath the water |
|
I watch it cascade down your chest |
|
You rise upon the wave |
|
As if it's molded to your breast |
|
If I could be a stream that feeds this lake |
|
Which might rise to kiss your face |
|
Then I will wind my way between these rocks |
|
So I might settle in this place |
|
Mi amor |
|
As you glide beside the clouds |
|
I feel the wind beneath your wings |
|
With such ease you take this gift |
|
That your friend, la luna brings |
|
And I hope that in my lungs |
|
There might be the strength one day |
|
That you might gather other sparrows |
|
And chase the crows away |
|
Mi amor |
|
The sound that rises from your belly |
|
Is one I've heard before |
|
It reaches deep behind these walls |
|
And I want to live some more |
|
And if I might write a verse |
|
That you choose to sing one afternoon |
|
Then I'll gladly wile away the hours |
|
Searching for the tune |
