lyrics

No need have I for a great
classic tome,
Your ways and your presence
speak volumes alone.

How absorbed I am by your
delicacy and grace,
And the radiant features
of your beautiful face.

I could watch you for hours
as your story unfolds,
A revelation, and with depths
of fathoms untold.

As you sit and you write
inspiration strikes me.
You have conveyed to me
just what I had wished to see.

Your manner so gentle
like a fragile young fawn,
A sense so deep takes me
and to you I am drawn.

How we met, at the time
I felt fate had a hand,
Each one brought together
in a faraway land.

But our paths had to cross,
just as the tale must be told:
I can read you like a book,
because we share the same soul.
