Make No Mistake

Tonight its only you and I
Were birds impaired for flight
Not going anywhere
Tonight, the clearest of clear skies
And the stars still dont compare to your eyes
It seems so surreal I
Cannot fathom all the years
That I lived without you here
Treading water, sinking inches every second I am
Here without you, gasp for breath
And not a free-range tongue around you
Could keep you from me
Tonight these dormant butterflies
Awake and break the ice
Of this freeze-frame charade
Do you feel the same way too
Im not sure of these rules
That govern this parade
When I look into your eyes
What do I see
But a still frame painted
Portraying you forever next to me
Do you recall those nights
All alone on that hidden road
A place where time had no hold
From here on in new life begins
With a love that commands us from within
Ill be there when you slip to break your fall
To you I give my all
And together we will heed the Fathers call
To you I give my all
