Valtz De Mon Pere (Lovers' Oath)
RICKIE LEE JONES
How can I tell you
The way I feel when you're inside?
You made this girl
As young as the moon
And old as the lips
The wave that rests
In the pool, guarding
We come unknowing
The where or the why
Throwing back our weight
Growing by and by
Staring at what we've made
As if we're not afraid
As helpless as the wind
As perfect as the sun
At days end
We'll watch each other
Til we're sure we are safe
Counting all the sheep
That still pass this way
And darling, as you dream
You seem to glow
With the faces that you know
And I'm jealous that I can't be there
We'll stay together
We'll never part
Our grandchildren will know us
'Cause they're made of our heart
And even though we're parted
From the physical world
I'll always be your girl
And I'll watch the world
For signs of love
