Valtz de mon pere (Lovers' Waltz)

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 Just 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 day's 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
