Every now and then
Someone comes along
That you love more than yourself
You would trade your soul
Just for them to know
How deeply you really care
Juliette in the breeze
You're Eve in the Tulip Trees
An irresistible energy
And when you're near me
The laws of gravity
Cease to exist in my reality
So I move like
An asteroid with its motion trapped in your orbit
I smile like Picasso or Van Gogh painting your portrait
I subscribe to your perfection, despite my inhibitions
I shimmer like the moonlight out on the ocean
I'm like a warm quilt with Persian silk interwoven
You give my life direction
Unbathed in circumspection
That's who you are to me
I can't understand
Why time and time again
We reach for the intangible
Like clocks without any hands
Busy days no plans
Life seems so unchangeable
But when I'm with you, I'm steady like Gibraltar Rock
Standing tall and ready for battle
Free just like an old ghost
That drifts around and floats
Deep inside his haunted castle
I move
Like an asteroid with its motion trapped in your orbit
I smile like Picasso or Van Gogh painting your portrait
I subscribe to your perfection, despite my inhibitions
I shimmer like the moonlight out on the ocean
I'm like a warm quilt with Persian silk interwoven
You release me of all tension, without condescension
And that's who you are to me
And you're the only one who can read my bones
From shifting emotions down to my chromosomes
I could never break from the wonders of you
Cause in my face, you've written bonds of truth
There's perfect grace, in everything you do
And when I'm with you
I'm like an asteroid with its motion trapped in your orbit
I'm like Picasso or Van Gogh painting your portrait
I subscribe to your perfection, despite my inhibitions
I shimmer like the moonlight out on the ocean
I'm like a warm quilt with Persian silk interwoven
You give my life direction
Unbathed in circumspection
And that's who you are to me
You are to me
