And when you smile
I feel weak
My throat is dry
And I can't speak
Because when you cry
I cry for you
For what you feel
I feel it, too
In your eyes I see a thousand summer nights
Lost in the moment, bathed in the shadow of moonlight
The dream tonight and the memories I save
I wash ashore amidst the gently rolling waves
In your sweet whisper is a comfort without end
An ethereal magic that I cannot comprehend
You need say nothing, just stay with me for a while
In your voice I hear the music of your smile
And when you smile
I feel weak
My throat is dry
And I can't speak
Because when you cry
I cry for you
For what you feel
I feel it, too
In your arms I feel the warmth of the sunrise
Soft glow upon me cascading from golden skies
Keep me here and keep me safe from outside harm
Keep me protected as you hold me in your arms
I close my eyes and I drift in your embrace
Upon your soothing waters, all once wrong is now in place
In your smile, I am lost in your beauty and your splendor
Kiss me and I submit to this slow and sweet surrender
And when you smile
I feel weak
My throat is dry
And I can't speak
Because when you cry
I cry for you
For what you feel
I feel it, too
Your touch is tender like serenely falling rain
Calmly washing over me with a bliss I can't explain
You are my start, you are my light, you are my muse
You are the life within this stoic sapphire hues
To make you happy, to the fullest I have tried
But you deserve far better than what I provide
What you mean to me cannot be written by pen
Hold me and love me and smile for me again
And when you smile
Your eyes alight
I fall for you
My heart takes flight
Because when you cry
I help you heal
For I believe
In what I feel
--Our family is now complete. I love you, Shiari.
