when the one i love - © John Close 2002

Doves are calling
stars are falling
when the one i love
throws her arms around and kisses me

sunrise or sunset
this is the best yet
when the one i love
throws her arms around and kisses me

no time for explanations
words of three syllables
the day is open wide
as skies are in the hills
in two long weary years
i never felt this well
my heart beats faster
but no doctor would say i was ill

lightning, no thunder
only joy and wonder
when the one i love
throws her arms around and kisses me

who needs analysis
when she holds me like this
my mind gets nearer
to a peaceful place when she's around
my demons all resign
no space for them to find
a way into my mind
to do their dirty deeds

love and laughter
no talk of hereafter
when the one i love
throws her arms around and kisses me
the one i love
throws her arms around and kisses me
