Straight as an Arrow

God's grace holds us up
Good
I feel I will dissolve
When I see your face
Ice becoming water
My own knees fail
But in the same moment
Everything's frozen.
Everything in the greeting cards
Is true:
I can't speak
I can't breathe, and I can't
Look at you

Corny as it is, there ya go!
What must he think of me??
I feel I will dissolve
My knees fail
Your grace holds me up
Good
Your face shoots through
Me like an arrow!
There's nothing I can do
But look away..l

Eyes of clear blue
Like the ocean
To think of them calms my soul
To quote Lizzie:
* "I can't bear to think that
(you) are alive in the world
And thinking ill of me"

I know not why certain ones become
The apple of our eye
When our cup runneth over as it is
But there you are
Never far from the clustered
Honeycomb of my mind
I could never muster the
Courage to tell you
You're straight as an arrow
Upright in heart and mind
I don't believe in fate
There's a plan
I'm looking behind every door
To find you

Eyes of clear blue Like the ocean

In moments of chaos
When things come unraveled
The thought of you
Is welcoming... Wonderful
Even when I think nothing could help
Wow! I'll use the cliche of a jewel
The stars are there under the smog
Shining for you, as well as me
If only we could see them
They ARE there
Somewhere
Just like the thought of you

Eyes of clear blue like the ocean

I wish you would wrap me in a hug
That would never end
Would you walk a mile in my shoes?
Suspended in mid air is the space between
And there I am
Don't lock up who you are because of me
The rays of sun inside can't go out

Eyes of clear blue like the ocean
The thought of them calms my soul.
To quote Lizzie:
* "I can't bear to think that (you)
Are alive in the world
And thinking ill of me"

*Elizabeth Bennet, Jane Austen's "Pride & Prejudice.
