lyrics

She moves across the floor so sweetly, so eloquently, neatly
Slowly to the place where I am standing
She takes my hand, pulls me out
Washes away any shred of doubt
She culls me from all the fools
Despite all of my fears
And in return I'll give her the gift of all my years

I tell her: They don't know you, not the way I do
So don't pay attention to the frightful things they say
They're only words, and they can only hurt
If you let yourself believe in their foolish game
She's so innocent, pure and perfect
This can't only be love
I'd give my life to protect her if only that were enough

She can't hide her feelings, I see them all too clearly
The subtle differences in the lines upon her face
I watch her from a distance, and she knows that she's defenseless
As I read the words her trembling lips trace:
Don't leave me standing in your shadow
For it's far too cold
I will give to you a love you've never known

Here I'll stay
Keep you warm and safe
Just give to me your love
Your love
Oh, love

She whispers oh so sweetly, frames her words so neatly
And I sit silent still in riveted suspense
Every sound that leaves her mouth
My heart does its best to leap straight from my chest
What is it that I could have done to have
Ever warranted this
For a love so complete and so full of bliss
