Spellbound

                          You and I are of one mind.
                            The odd and non-sensical kind.
                  Where all the colors do combine
          And every shape is undefined
                         Of the senses I have five
        Somehow each is more alive.
       I'll stop at nothing I confide
                    To be right there by your side
                I'll teach the tulips how to sing
        Demand the mountains to take wing.
                                   I'd swallow the sea
                                          to bring you to me
                                                      I'd govern the wind
                                                      to taste of your skin
                                            I'd fold up the continent
                                    control lunar alignment
                     And if you were the man on the moon
                          I'd use a bouquet of balloons
                           Every map I'd redesign
                            All of this to make you mine
     This is crazy I confess       No explaining it; unless
                 In a potion I have drown
                                   Irrevocably   Spellbound

                                 Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay.
                        Love isn't love 'til you give it away.
