Seashell

Take my hand and come walk with me
Down towards the enchanting sea.
I'll run laughing across the sand.
You'll just smile 'cause you understand.

Watch the sun kiss the rising sea,
Trembling sparkles of ecstasy.
Waves break, simmer, and then renew,
Just as sometimes a heart can do.

I walked the full length of the beach until
I found the most beautiful seashell.

Fragments of all the things you've said
Smile tenderly in my head.
Beaming sun is still trying to
Burn the way that I burn for you.

Feel the waves as they fall and rise.
Breathe in deeply and close my eyes.
Let me not ever wake from this
Precious moment of perfect bliss.

I walked the full length of the beach until
I found the most beautiful seashell.

Stay here with me
Down by the sea.

For the others there on that beach
Our heaven was out of reach.
They heard only the dolphins' cries.
We heard music and angels' sighs.

We gazed out to the horizon,
Sea and sky melting into one.
Whispered line where the blue meets blue.
Just as vague as where I meet you.

In the wake of that golden day
Memories still take my breath away.
I touched heaven when you touched me
Down beside the enchanting sea.

I walked the full length of the beach until
I found the most beautiful seashell, for me.

Sunset glows.
Come with me.
One last race
To the sea
