Only close my eyes and you are here with me

"One Sweet Love" by Sara Bareilles

"Just about the time the shadows call
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
Paint a portrait of my mystery
Only close my eyes and you are here with me

A nameless face to think I see
Can sit and watch the waves with me
Until they're gone
A heart I'd swear I'd recognize
Is made out of my own devices
Could I be wrong?

The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted
My piece of one sweet love

Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
Paint your shadows on the breath that we share
You take more than just my sanity
You take my reason not to care

No ordinary wings I need
The sky itself will carry me back to you
The things I dream that I can do
I'd open up the moon for you
Just come down soon

The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted
My piece of one sweet love
Ready and waiting
For a heart worth the breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in
The name of one sweet love

Savor the sorrow to soften the pain
Sip on the southern rain
As I do I don't look, don't touch
Don't do anything
And hope that there is a you

The earth that is the space between
I banish it from under me to get to you
Your unexpected love provides
My solitary's suicide
Oh, I wish I knew

The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted
My piece of one sweet love
Ready and waiting
For a heart worth the breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in
The name of one sweet love
One sweet love"







This song speaks to me.  I used to wonder if the guy I had been dreaming of was really out there, or if I had already met the guy I was meant to be with and I had my chance and let it go.  But he was out there, the man I had been dreaming of, the man whom I never saw coming.  I am so blessed to have him and I am so relieved that I don't have to settle, for an honest mistake or otherwise! I have my one sweet love. :)
