Every time you look at me I falter

You smile like you know me so well

And I’m completely lost at your altar

I think you must be able to tell


You have everyone under your charm

All of nature comes when you beckon

Basking in your warmth I am safe from harm

And I feel free if only a second


Even the sweetest of melodies 

Can not compare to the cool lilt of your voice

It is the greatest of remedies

To listen or not I have no choice 


So I sit admiring from a distance

With my own stubborn sort of persistence
