5. Your Song

I think I hear you calling
Almost answering your words
Suddenly, I am stalling
Mistaken what I've heard


I eavesdrop, yet unfairly
I am thoroughly enthralled
Your door is opened, barely
As I stand just down the hall


Tiptoeing toward it warily
A welcomed, gentle swoon
Your voice is light and airy
Emanating from the room


Your song is sweet and doting
My feet glide across the ground
I find myself just floating
To be closer to the sound


Magnetic gravitation
Press my ear against the door
Your rising intonation
For the one that you adore


Your love is simply stated
Your passion, clear as day
And hopelessly elated
From this song that you replay


Absolute affirmation
Keep my body still as stone
Truth in your modulation
Variation in your tone


Sing with a sweet conviction
Your love is pure and boundless
Your sureness without friction
Has left me mostly soundless


The longer here I listen
Simpler yet it is to see
My eyes begin to glisten
Your song is not for me
