*
I took you for an angel with your grace.
One smile from you and I forget my place;
That’s all it takes.

And if, for your affections, I would vie,
Tell me, would it do me any good to try
To make you stay?

Or would you walk away?

I dream of ways to sweep you off your feet-
don’t wanna know the failure I could meet,
‘cause every other time I look at you,
I fear my best-laid plans are falling through .

**
I’m running from the voices in my head-
-they tell me I should run from you instead .
But I can’t yet.

Say that I’m a fool to stand my ground,
But wiser men than me have fallen down;
I won’t pretend

I know more than them

I dream of ways to tell you how I feel;
So what if I’m the ground beneath your wheels-
If my best-laid plans have all but fallen through,
Then what have I to lose by telling you?

***
I took you for an angel with your grace.
I penciled in the lines I can’t erase.
-so familiar

Now I can’t dry the tears upon your face-
When hope has left me here with my mistakes.
Oh Cecilia,

I lost my way.

So many words I wish I’d said to you,
but Life is short and chances here are few;
‘cause time is one thing I cannot renew – The best laid plans are falling, falling through…

(I dream of ways to sweep you off your feet-
don’t wanna know the failure I could meet,
‘cause every other time I look at you,
I swear my finest dreams are coming true.)
