April
Let me sing to tell you
how it feels to be near you.
A new warmth burns and soothes
like the month of April.
You open your eyes, I kiss your lips,
everything in the air says yes.
The day is short, the night is long,
like the month of April.
I hear and see, I feel and sing to you,
because you’re here.
I want the rose that’s in your heart
for the month of April.
I keep going and you follow me down the path
until we blur
your beautiful shadow, my dark shadow,
beneath the April sun.
I want time to be one,
a time for loving and for thrill.
And together we’ll make a time tale
that we’ll call April.
