When the white bird flies
|
from your heart to mine,
|
I surrender every part of me
|
to the tenderness.
|
|
Could it be the wine?
|
In your eyes stars shine,
|
and I'm feeling like a child again.
|
Oh, it's taken me a little time
|
to find words to say
|
|
Stay.
|
Make this forever,
|
and lay love in my life.
|
Come what may,
|
cherish each moment of love
|
as dreams go by.
|
|
If the first glow fades
|
from the love we've made,
|
I will hold you closer in the night
|
under heart and key.
|
|
When there are hills to climb,
|
and your world won't rhyme,
|
I will fight until I get it right;
|
'Cause your part of me,
|
the heart of me,
|
if only you'll stay.
|
|
Stay.
|
Make this forever,
|
and lay love in my life.
|
Come what may,
|
cherish each moment of love
|
as dreams go by.
|
|
The trees and the towers are burning.
|
Fear walks on the sea.
|
My soul in the wasteland is yearning.
|
What does tomorrow hold for me?
|
Oh, no.
|
|
What can I say?
|
Just that I need you.
|
With you here by my side, we can turn even the desert evergreen
|
as dreams go by.
|
|
Oh, won't you stay?
|
Make this forever,
|
and lay love in my life.
|
Come what may,
|
cherish each moment of love
|
as dreams go by.
|
|
Stay.
|
Make this forever.
|
Lay love in my life.
|
Come what may,
|
cherish each moment of love
|
as dreams go by.
