ONLY YOU


Sailing toward a horizon I’ll never reach I cannot speak, tears on my cheeks I’ve left the beach Where it was warm, the sun stood still Life was a breeze that never chilled I was at peace Those sandy shores been left behind The tumultuous sea, a spray that blinds I’m out of time My love has gone, I’m in night’s grip What was, now lost.. each wave a whip I’m a sinking ship And just for a moment I dare to dream I’m back on the beach or so it seems To me you cling Smile melting my heart, fragrance in your hair A second chance, this time I care There’s no despair I’m losing air, my ship is tossed Drowning slow, thinking all I’ve lost There’s only you Girl, there’s only you Only… you!
