I Confess

For Suzette

 

If no one's ever told you

let me be the first one

I truly do adore you

freckled sky

laughing the wind

as you sail on through your day

as you sail on through your day

 

As long as I have known you

you truly have amazed me

from the moment I saw you

I knew that I

would always be waiting

for the day you sail my way

for the day you sail my way

 

Though my dream would carry you

I played other tunes

shallow songs in short term verses

hoping somehow they were true

hoping they would see me through

 

Then again

 

Whenever I saw you

my love light's flame

was like a knowledge

that I couldn't deny

and across the waters

I would carry your name

I would hold it high

just like a lantern

shining through my night

shining through my night

 

Whenever I saw you

my love light's flame

was like a knowledge

that I couldn't deny

And across the waters

I would carry your name

I would hold it high

just like a lantern

shining through my night

shining through my night

 

And so I have to tell you

the years have grown me wiser

no matter how much I try to

I can't deny

the harbor I'm building

for your ship to find at night

for your ship to find at night

 

If today you see me

know my love is honest

It took a song to free me

but now these words

bid and implore

you to grace the garden mine

to grace the garden mine

 

Sometimes hurt and sometimes fool

I vowed to ignore

laughing eyes and hair alight

and dreams that I nurtured and wore

but now that I know what song is for

 

I confess

 

That whenever I see you

my hopes grow high

with a happiness

I cannot deny

that throughout my journeys

its you that I

know is the one

I always will love

from this day till the end of time

from this day till the end of time

 

That whenever I see you

my hopes grow high

with a happiness

I cannot deny

that throughout my journeys

it's you that I

know is the one

I always will love

from this day till the end of time

from this day till the end of time
