Back in 1927

I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. Simply because I do not this day to end. This way when the world did belly-flops and what-have-you-nots.

If I could paint ~ I'd paint a portrait of you
The sunlight in your eyes a masterpiece of truth
And a single tear like a silent prayer
That's shining so much brighter than a diamond ever dared
If I could do anything at all,I'd do it for you

I was the one he wanted to call. I was the one he had words to tell to cos he was afraid he might not have the chance to do it. And I was the one he asked.

If I could write ~ I'd write a book for you
A tale of hidden treasures with an I.O.U
And a million words couldn't say a thing
That won't be said in three words
Where love's the central theme
If I could do anything at all, I'd do it for you

And all this while I was driving home. With my kids in the back seat. And all the time he was talking, I didn't know if I wanted to jump up in the air and just do a whoop-dee-do or sit on the sidewalk and cry while smiling.

If I could play, I'd play up a storm for you
A raging sea of passion that you never knew
Every whispered sound would touch your heart
And maybe for a moment I could be your favourite star
If I could do anything at all, I'd do it for you

So yes, I don't think I would be able to sleep tonight. And I'm sure you'd understand why. Cos never did I think this would actually come true.

Sometimes I feel so second-rate
Seems loving you was my greatest mistake
I know I'm insecure
And love don't keep score
But I wish I could give you more

I wasn't in the frame of mind to answer another curve ball question. But here it is, in the borrowed words of another (cos we all know at times like these, my words fail me!)...

Darling can't you see
What you mean to me
Anything that I can do ~ I'll do it for you
And darling don't you know
Just how far I'd go
Anything that I can do, I'd do it for you

Just for today - I feel like I'm standing on top of the world! And the view from up here is FANTASTIC!
