If I count the ways I love you

I would never sleep

For I would be counting forever

A love so pure, so deep

If I count the ways I love you

They would outnumber the stars

That shine in the sky above us

From Mercury to Mars

If I count the ways I love you

It’d take the rest of my days

Baby boy, you are everything

This love, it never strays

If I count the ways I love you

I could never stop to res...

As the waves came in, it came over me

That although it wasn’t the first time

It was the first time in awhile

That I had a moment to feel, to breathe

The passage of time deep within my bones

The nostalgia of the past

The distant sound of voices gone

The laughter of an old joke

A song, nearly forgotten

Crisscrossing in my mind

With the bittersweetness of the present

Little feet pattering around

...

Eyes, baby blue with flecks of grey

Stare into mine with wonder

You smile at every word I say

It’s like I somehow cannot blunder

I know it won’t always be just like this

So I try to capture each moment passing

Try to hold onto this baby bliss

My love for you keeps amassing

I never thought this day would arrive

I had lost so much along the way

Still in disbelief that one could survive

That I’d...

Every day seems the same

Same music, same three windows

Same basic routine

But yet, each one has been a miracle

Since you came into my life

I didn’t know how much I didn’t know

I didn’t know how much I had never felt

I didn’t know what was missing

All that I had missed

You made my dream come true

Your smile is the answer to my questions

Your eyes, the key that unlocked my soul

Your life,...

Earthquakes no longer feel so foreign to my body

The stable ground, crumbling in an instant

The aftershocks, ripping through my veins

Have become the norm, an expectation

Why would any of this be easy?

Every time the ship starts to right itself

Another wave comes crashing overboard

Submerging me once again

Suffocating me once again

When I had only learned how to breathe again

When I had only le...

Leaves fading too fast

The end of sweet summer bliss

Fall begins again

Birds swoop for a meal

Rabbits running to and fro

Chipmunk steals a snack

Glistens, sparkles, snow

Oh, the winter wonderland

Mysteries to find...

It came to me like snails come to the gardens;

Ready to consume

A thought I’d been afraid of for so long

Threatening to burst out from within

Tempting me to take what I thought was my life

And flip it upside down

Inside out

Start it again

Consumed by the daydream

Of freedom from it all

From the expectations drawn up for me

Since I was a little girl

From the picture I had in my head for so long

...

Como un flor

You brightened up the room

Como una Estrella

You burned out too soon

Como un lobo

I missed you in the night

Como la ley

I could never get it right

Como el mensaje en la botella

I could never reach you in time

Como un poema

I couldn’t find the rhyme

Como un flor

I looked for you in spring

Como un flor

Como un flor...

You don’t remember our first kiss

But I will never forget

The way my heart skipped

The night my life began again

I couldn’t believe that someone like you

Could ever be interested in me

Sometimes still cannot believe

How lucky I am that you’re here

15 years can feel like an eternity

I can barely remember the time before

Seems like you’ve always been beside me

Holding me since the beginning of t...

Keep the faith, you said

Time and time again

They all quoted it as their favorite

I can still hear your voice

Although it’s getting fainter

And the people gathered wondered

How did it all end like this

Why does one day break with normality

And the sun set in a heartbreak beyond

What any of us thought could be

It wasn’t your fault but do you see

All of us that are left behind

A wife, a daughter, ...
