I Long
I long to say how deeply I care,
To get lost in her eyes, that adoring stare,
To wrap her up in loving arms,
Embracing beauty, her many charms.
I long to express the feelings I hold,
To admit them now, courageously and bold,
To surpass my passions and find true bliss,
Glimpsing heaven while waiting for her kiss.
Truly I tell you I haven’t said a thing
Fear takes hold and I can’t even sing
Yet to feel her heart beat over mine,
Is to find on earth that love so divine.
I long to say it, to finally be free,
To have her echo my longing back to me,
To love her now, by God I always will,
Living by the moment as time stands still.
I long to sing of love to the world
To let sore hearts be free and unfurled
To hold her soft hand, keeping her near,
Away from sorrow, weeping, and fear.
Truly I tell you I haven’t said a thing
Fear takes hold and I can’t even sing
Yet to take a breath and close my eyes,
Is to finally wake up and realize
Time marches on and life does too
Wait any longer, she’ll never have a clue
Even if after ends unhappily
I’d rather her merry, even without me
Truly I tell you I finally said that thing
Freed from fear, I began to sing
I took that breath after closing my eyes
Thank God, oh my God, she finally realized
I long to sing just one more line
To warn you not to waste more time
To discover if your dream is really true,
Tell her now, since she might just love you too.
