A warmth burns inside me
And your closeness makes it show
That orange bond makes me glow
I smile at strangers, and they too
Notice I stand more vibrant than the rest
I wrap my arms around life and squeeze
I feel hands on me, and the hug returns
Looking up, I see it’s you holding me
And my feet have left the ground
You caught me and my enthusiasm
And your energy balances us as one
My caring, smiling eyes glow upon your straight lips
These faces of pink lift our love-kissed cheeks higher
Connected link to link, we make circles with our arms
A space where our expanded hearts touch
A tender catch we’ll never release
You’ll wear my name on your heart
And I’ll carry the heart you made me
The words they pour build our worlds
The secret but shared and the real but radiant
Our lips upon them make them ours
You’re walking towards me
And I know we’re laying the pavement
You gather flat stones to use
And show me where to find and place mine
So our paths will be one for us
We’ve walked separately but kept our eyes ahead
Following our God, we remain loyal to One and our other
None but my other will do
Because no one else is you
So that’s why I’ve waited alone
Moving closer as you help me step forward to you
My caring, smiling eyes glow upon your straight lips
These faces of pink lift our love-kissed cheeks higher
Connected link to link, we make circles with our arms
A space where our expanded hearts touch
A tender catch we’ll never release
You’ll wear my name on your heart
And I’ll carry the heart you made me
The words they pour build our worlds
The secret but shared and the real but radiant
Our lips upon them make them ours
The path toward each other yellow
We smile as us, friends most dear
I see you first, but you soak me in
One of many joys I’ll share
Giving you a soft place to rest
Your soul pierces through me
And I see the man you will be
Pieces no one else will see
You peer into my golden rings
And our blue pools turn into an ocean
What we discuss will surface under this sun
My caring, smiling eyes glow upon your straight lips
These faces of pink lift our love-kissed cheeks higher
Connected link to link, we make circles with our arms
A space where our expanded hearts touch
A tender catch we’ll never release
You’ll wear my name on your heart
And I’ll carry the heart you made me
The words they pour build our worlds
The secret but shared and the real but radiant
Our lips upon them make them ours
