I see the long black flowing lace
That frames her perfect gentle face
A wispy look, a dreamy gaze
A radiant smile, my hearts ablaze

I see the rings of silver and gold
That run through skin of silk untold
An endless sea of green and blue
Those drowning eyes of sparkling hue

If only i could say those words
If only i could make those sounds
That push my heart beyond its bounds

By land or air
By ground or sea
My heart and soul
