Rory D'Lasnow - Swoon Lyrics

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Sometimes I'm tempted when you take my breath away
But these days are windy and the time's all way too short
But wind, rain, or hail - all I know's one thing's for sure

When all is fading you're a flower in bloom
Because your beauty's not just in June
And when the April rains try to take you away
Or when winter comes and says you've had your day
That's when you make them swoon

Just to compare you to one season would
Not give you credit like I really think I should

When all is fading you're a flower in bloom
Because your beauty's not just in June
And when the April rains try to take you away
Or when winter comes and says you've had your day
That's when you make them swoon

And everything I wanted slipped from right within my hands
And all I knew was nobody - no one could understand
But when the smoke cleared there was something bright and something true
Soon enough the clouds had fled and there was only you

Shall I compare thee to a poet's dream?
You are the stars, the sky, and all that's in between
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see
So long lives this - and this gives life to thee

When all is fading you're a flower in bloom
Because your beauty's not just in June
And when the April rains try to take you away
Or when winter comes and says you've had your day
That's when you make them swoon
That's when you make them swoon
