Sonata

So much I say in daydreams Avow my heart's desire But when we're brought together Conversation dies with me And now I stammer Between the nervous heartbeats Descending you and I In fearful silence Maybe I said the wrong things My pass was out of line Maybe you said the wrong things In making your reply Perhaps I say the wrong things While I'm burning up inside Maybe you say the wrong things But I want you to know That's words could only fail to show the depth of my esteem That I hold you in such regard as silences my speech And when you shine your lights on me I vanish in the heat So vital are your thoughts of me I dare not tilt the peace Yet I return to mend my slight, to prove to you what I mean I come sheltering the hope that you might place your heart with me And now that I'm alone with you your smile lets me believe Those dreams that sail on the horizon And now I stammer Between the nervous heartbeats Descending you and I In fearful silence So much I say in daydreams Avow my heart's desire But then we're thrown together Conversation dies with me So now I stammer Between the lonely heartbeats Exposing one more time The fearful heart of me Maybe I said the wrong things My pass was out of line Maybe you said the wrong things In making your reply Perhaps I say the wrong things While I'm burning up inside Maybe you say the wrong things But I want you to know That words have only failed to show the depth of my esteem That I hold you in such regard as silences my speech But now that I'm alone with you your smile lets me believe My dream that sails on the horizon
