Well, in a spur of inspiration, I wrote another song. Why I keep posting the lyrics is beyond me at this point. I just do it. Probably because I'm secretly waiting for someone else to get a spur of inspiration and edit me. Who knows? Anyway, this is a song about any girl that I've had the pleasure of waking up to in any way (especially the more recent ones...and no, sickos, this doesn't mean I slept with them...necessarily). So this is for Gillian (and if you'd kindly pass it along to Sarah and Danny as well), Christina, and Maureen (and maybe some unnamable others subconciously).
"a certain smile"
the slants of light are creeping in
as they crawl across the room to dance upon your skin
i pray that they won't wake you soon
that they won't shine upon your face to stir you
and as i watch you lying here
so calm so serene i've lost a part of me
and its there inside your dreams
the part you may not notice that you may not see
and as the slants of light dance ever closer
to your sweet face
i want to share your waking breath but i can't bare
to stir your sweet face
don't wake baby, don't you wake
i want just one more moment to watch you dream
a certain smile across my face
i haven't whispered since before i saw you this morning
i'd trade you anything, sunshine
to go back and let me have this sweet serenity
i'd drink a dew drop from the pink newborn sky
if you'd just let her be
and as the slants of light dance ever closer
to your sweet face
i want to share your waking breath but i can't bare
to stir your sweet face
don't wake baby, don't you wake
i want just one more moment to watch you dream
a certain smile across my face
i haven't whispered since before i saw you this morning
are you dreaming of me
could we dance upon a cloud
in the freshly reborn summer sky
pink and red and purple at the edge of night
the slants of light are creeping in
as they crawl across the room to dance upon your skin
and as i watch you lying here
so calm so serene i've lost a part of me
don't wake baby, don't you wake
i want just one more moment to watch you dream
a certain smile across my face
i haven't whispered since before i saw you this morning...
