I may ask you to listen to a song of you
And to dance to the many voices of my heart
If I can only be sure of a million words
Or the thoughts that I intend to have some meaning.
If you could only be a simple melody
And play upon the expression between us
Then it would be easy to speak without mind
For my words are scattered in moments with you.
If I'm only open in moments with you
And direct in the things that I pretend to say
No sound would be heard that would fall into silence.
No music would also be made in confusion
Or noises that may have to stand up between us
If I could only think of songs to sing to you.
If you could only hear the music in my ear
And understand the meaning of its symphony
Then all my thoughts don't need to have expression
For I don't know how to tell you what I feel.
I may yet create the very song of you
If I can gather all the feelings of my heart.
