Carpe Diem

It's like a string that's trying to unravel And like uncertainties of love and travel Like the winter when the snow came falling down And settled on the ground And no one in the building even heard a sound It's like that time I lived in New York City All the lights alive at night, so pretty The winter of our deconstructing love affair And god, I swear that night at Lincoln Center started all of it To take up all that space To find my proper place To look into my face And say it straight I love you so I love you so It's like the way a swing will keep on swinging Long after you have gone, I keep on singing And like my morning rendezvous at MoMa, never missing you Passing all the windows on Fifth Avenue To take up all that space To find my proper place To look into my face And say it straight I love you so I love you so I love you so I love you so I love you It's like the way a garden keeps on growing Long after sun descends, horizon, glowing Or like the way a perfect piece of art Will make me start a song or want to be a painter or an artist It's like the way a star above keeps shining After it explodes And I'm here mining it for meaning Saying, "Carpe Diem. Please forgive me" "Carpe Diem, Please forgive me"
