THE WORLD OF YOU
"Every freckle disappears
Stars speckle the night's face
The mystery of the universe
Is longing to be embraced"
In ancient redwood trees
A spotted owl was hooting
Above the forest canopy
I saw a star a shooting
Thinkin' of my true love's eyes
How they open and close
By day all colors are blended
By night a soft star glows
I may think
The world of you
For all that
You're made of
I love to see
All nature in you
For it's your nature
To love
Beside the quiet stream
There's a doe a drinkin'
The dappled golden colors
Has set my mind to thinkin'
The way all nature's painted
With colors that blend in
And how my loves true hair
Matches her eyes and skin
I may think
The world of you
For all that
You're made of
I love to see
All nature in you
For it's your nature
To love
First rays of sun on the wing
Wild geese on the rise
The image of a mountain
Is moving through the skies
Thinkin' of a higher place
Love will take me there
Embrace me like a halo
I'll be a solar flare
I may think
The world of you
For all that
You're made of
I love to see
All nature in you
For it's your nature
To love
