charm (repeat)
.
how life tried to change you
from the curly sue once groomed
knew you would return to me
that we’d resume with urgency
to further see the most unique a view
to further see the most unique a view
.
charmed
if i do
have this last dance with you
while the music of chance
strings two hearts in spring bloom
charmed
if i do
find a room with a view
where each night
i delight in inviting perfume
as we muse on past lives
seen anew
for as sure as these eyes are deep blue
i would die before sleeping life through
thus would keenly be charmed
if i do
(charmed)
thus would keenly be charmed
if i do
.
charm (repeat)
.
would like to ask to kiss you
if you see no minor issue
with uprising view to lift you
from the gloom
tis no place for one so risen
one so of infinite of vision
one who need not seek permission
or feel weak through indecision
as she moves
(charm)
as she moves
(charm)
as she moves
(charm)
as she moves

alter lighting
to set the right mood
pull the blinds
so the moonlight seeps through
while its chill still remarks
bleak midwinter has passed
thus would keenly bleed psalm
to renew
.
would like to ask to kiss you
if you see no minor issue
with uprising view to lift you
from the gloom
tis no place for one so risen
one so of infinite of vision
one who need not seek permission
or feel weak through indecision
as she moves
.
free of contrition
no weight do you bear
hence i bleed you a river
and wait for you there
with nowt but omnipotent faith to declare
and one pair of wide eyes
that are true
one pair of wide eyes
that are true
.
my stringed heart on percussion
matches tempo of your stride
and as you take a bow
i dress precocious glow of pride
childlike in my rapture
of such motion form and stature
with wide eyes glazed
amazed by every single frame you capture
.
you are the encore i longed for
you are my blue mana
potion of truth
ne’er hath i seen such devotion to youth
such light across oceans
so hopeful a view
as i do
to be charmed
sweet advance
say with brave
may i have this last dance
for as sure as these eyes are deep blue
would be ceaselessly charmed
if i do
.
meanwhile in the name of good and ill
the raven gazes
while angels bathe
in grateful shade
of heaven’s tasteful serenade
.
charmed
if i do
have this last dance with you
while the music of chance
strings two hearts in spring bloom
charmed
if i do
find a room with a view
where each night
i delight in inviting perfume
as we muse on past lives
seen anew
for as sure as these eyes are deep blue
i would die before sleeping life through
thus would keenly be charmed
if i do
(i do)
