Jaded by the loss of a love I once knew
You nursed the wounds you found on my heart
For you inspire this smile that refuses to leave
Now, I'm flying without the help of wind or wings

I closed a heart that used to be open for two
My point of view took on a darker hue
Until I found you...
With a tilt of your head and an insightful eye
The words from your lips were a surprise
Suddenly, what used to be my truth, I could see were lies
You made me believe I deserved better...and I wondered why.
Soothing them with words that will never part
I watch as you protect it from the slinging of darts
And I finally realize I've found my work of art.
In amazement, I see the hurt heal and disappear
And my ears can't believe the things they hear
This foreign feeling even invokes some fear
But that would never keep me from drawing near.
And I wonder if you realize how much you've helped me believe
In all the dreams I can achieve
And in all the love I will receive.
The change in me is evident for all to see
I find my friends are asking what's come over me
And all I can say is someone's making me happy
As I begin to defy gravity...
Soaring high on the joy you bring
Guided only by the melody my heart sings
Finding the journey amazing.
Twisting and turning through the clouds of trust and honesty
Sliding down the rain of love's purity
Gazing at the lights illuminating the city
I'd be a fool to deny just what I see...
And that's all the magic you've awakened in me.
