—The Color of Roses

I held you close to me, once in a distant dream

Far from the shores of my fear

I sailed on this ocean, where all I imagined could happen

And now you are here

It’s so hard to touch what is out of our hands

To know and to trust what the heart understands

 

Only the ones who believe

Ever see what they dream

Ever dream what comes true

 

Life gives us magic and life brings us tragedy

Everyone suffers some loss

Still we have faith in it, childlike hope

There’s a reason that outweighs the cost

 

And gravity throws all these rules in our way

And sometimes the spirit refuses to play

And oh, love

Turn me around in your arms

And in this dream we share

Let us not miss one kiss

 

And add my regrets to the tears in the rain

That’s what the color of roses contain
