Elements of You

Lying on a blanket next to you I smile
Dreaming of the day when we will walk down the aisle
We stare into each other’s eyes as the waves crash down on the beach
Your eyes move through me to places that no one else has ever reached

The clouds roll in and the raindrops fall upon my skin
I feel a burning desire for you resonating from deep within
You brought order to the raging chaos within my soul
My life longed for fulfillment; only you could fill the hole

CHORUS:
Wind
As soft and gentle as your touch
Water
Quenches my inner thirst like your kisses
Fire
A symbol of my desire for you
Earth
A place you’ve made perfect
I cherish you now more than ever

Suddenly I find myself staring up into the open sky
Being away from you is something I could never try
Yet as the sun begins to set on our marvelous time together
I know that all I want is for our love to last beyond forever

And though I have not yet said the words: until death do us part
In my mind I have already sung it a million times in my heart
When our eyes locked your gaze melted all my pride
From East to West is the size of the love I have for you inside

CHORUS:
Wind
As soft and gentle as your touch
Water
Quenches my inner thirst like your kisses
Fire
A symbol of my desire for you
Earth
A place you’ve made perfect
I cherish you now more than ever

A hurricane could never keep me away
Tidal waves could crash upon me night and day
My potent longing for us to be together will scorch the living
To end my journey with you would be a perfect beginning
Because...

CHORUS #2:
The breeze
Eventually stops blowing
The oceans
Will one day dry up
A fire
Cannot burn all the time
The Earth
Will seem colder without you there
But we will always be together

For as long as I live
To you I will give
Everything
