When I see you

When I wake up, everything is quiet The day stretches ahead in order and calm Everything in its place, walk, never run, follow routine... But when I see you… when I see you… And my world flares into colour And the monotone becomes a complex harmony I realize, I realize That before my life was grey Day after day, endless monochrome Why did I never notice before? Every step, always the same, lifeless and bare... But then I see you… then I see you… And my world flares into colour New flavours explode, vibrant on my tongue I realize, I realize How bland it was before And if I could spend my days with you On this whirling, dizzying carnival In this riotous, dazzling rainbow world Where every look made me float Where every touch made me burn Would I fly into a million pieces... would I survive? When I wake up the magic's still there My heart swells - a new world awaits The blinkers are gone, light dazzles my eyes Promise fills the air… But when I see you… when I see you… You will never know the gift you have given me You may never know the joy I feel You need never know... The change you have wrought runs so deep That evermore in my mind I see you
