Those Eyes 05:14
I remember it like the day I was born. You strolled into the room. I suddenly felt warm. For the first time in my life I was whole. You held up your chin with your eyes so wide Clinging to me and promised you'd try To be everything I could ever need. You didn't know that you already were. Those movie marathons ran past our bedtimes. They would end in pillow fights, on our backs, with lips pressed tight. Regardless, you read through etched curves on my notebook There is beauty in routine. So would you breathe in harmony with me? "How I wish I was yours. How I wish you were mine. Please let me hold those pretty wide eyes." I swear to you that we'll be absolute. A week later it's two in the morning You're lying in my lap. I know that I'm going to break Unless you kiss me on the cheek and tell me I'm your everything. I've never heard it before. It reminds me of how beautiful the world can be.

In Dreams 07:10
Take baby steps towards me With your hand stretched out reaching And slowly press on my chest. I confess I've been hiding what I feel. But you noticed through my speech patterns, The late night calls and staying home That I'm quickly falling for you. This is how it goes in dreams: No sound or image, only the feeling. So I sit and toss sea shells into the ocean to Remember dancing to the glow of the moon Take baby steps towards me With your eyes closed tight reaching And softly press on my chest. I confess I've been hiding what I desire. But you noticed through my speech patterns, The late night rides and holding hands That I already fell in love... This is how it goes in dreams: No sound or image, only the feeling. So I sit and toss sea shells into the ocean to Remember dancing to the glow of the moon with you. I always will take care of you.

Brighter 03:55
I look at you and I know... My love for you is like a star, A star that never dims. It shines on brighter every day With every letter you send to me. My love for you is like a star, A star that never dims. It shines brighter every day With every sentence you say to me. My love for you is like a star, A star that never dims. It shines brighter every day With every second you cling to me. My love for you is like a star, A star that never dims. It shines brighter every day With every breath spent with me. My love for you is like a star, A star that never dims. It shines brighter every day With every night you dream of me. Please have the same dream every night So your love reflects into my sight. You'll see my eyes shine brighter than they ever have before.

You're an airplane gliding along mid-level clouds. You're the ocean waves, the breeze blowing against my face. You're an unfinished story, the one I want to read. A song that last forever, you'll never leave me. You're the moon on Monday. You're my favorite kind of dream. You're a train, a line of castles in a fantasy. You're a kiss on the cheek in the sand on a beach. A hug that last forever, it's never over. To tell you what you mean to me: You're better than all my favorite things. To tell you you're my everything. It's not enough. You're a Shakespeare sonnet, prettier than the sky. You're the sun providing light to me, warming everything. You're a puppy dog napping in a car. You're a perfect star as I float away in your arms. To tell you what you mean to me: You're better than all my favorite things. To tell you you're my everything. It's not enough. Every night when I go to sleep. I wake up and know you're next to me. If I die before I wake, At least I'll die the happiest in the world. I won't be forgetting you. You won't forget me.

Everything 05:26
Everything I've ever known resides within your lovely bones. Your eyes paint my sky blue. It's cliché but I'm in love with you. Mountains and oceans and stars and planes, Don't compare to the most beautiful girl to breathe air. It's true. Everything I've dreamed of rests in your smile. Your voice has soothing melodies that drift me to sleep. The moon and Copeland and stars and me, Aren't even close to anywhere as perfect as you are, sweetie. So I say please always stay this way. Never change, never go away. Here I'll be your everything. Everything I've ever known resides within your lovely bones. Your eyes paint my sky blue. It's cliché but I'm in love with you. Mountains and oceans and stars and planes, Don't compare to the most beautiful girl to breathe air. It's true. So I say please always stay this way. Never change, never go away. Here I'll be your everything. I know you're cold sometimes That's why I'm here at night To hold you tight and kiss you soft. I know you're sad sometimes. That's why I'm here at night To hold you tight with my eyes so wide. I know you cry sometimes. That's why I'm here at night To hold you tight and say baby it's fine I know you're floating sometimes, That's why I'm here at night. To hold you tight and say me too. I'll sit down and stare you in the eyes To let you know how much you mean to me. I'll hold your hand and grasp so tight. Remember when I promised I'd never let go? I'll learn to play every song you want to hear To let you know I'd do anything for you. I'll pull you close to me and hug you forever And kiss all of your tiger tears. Oh my honey, I don't even know a world without you so I'll never let go. Oh my sweetie, I can't even breathe without you.

You open your soft lips a little bit and press them against mine. We watch the ocean waves crashing in the moonlight. The breeze blows your hair around everywhere and I smile. This is not a dream. I've been awake for awhile. You're a wish come true. Nothing's wrong when I'm with you. You're a perfect star. I'll float away in your arms. I stare into the deepest blue while lying on top of you. In the sand I wrote "I love you" all along the coast. I shut my eyes and hold you close, my cheek against your nose. This is a moment that I thought was impossible. You're a wish come true. Nothing's wrong when I'm with you. You're a perfect star. I'll float away in your arms. You're a perfect star.

I promise you every single ounce of my breath Take a step away. You always get too close to me. I'm always there whether distant or impaired. I'm always finding ways to change things/time. Until out of merely not nothing comes only one snowflake and we speak our names.

We watch the sunset tonight off your rooftop in Overland Park. I've never seen anything so beautiful. I don't mean the sunset this time. I'm lost inside your light eyes. I could have a waterfall of you around me. I wouldn't mind, in fact it'd make me happy. With you I'll never feel so lonely. I caress your chest and breathe in slowly. I forget the sky above and ground below. You grab hold of me so I'm never cold. With you I feel so safe and sound, If such things exist for me then I am made for you. I don't think anything will ever mean as much to me As the sound of your voice as you breathe Or say my name or lay your head on me lightly, slowly. I could have a waterfall of you around me. I wouldn't mind, in fact it'd make me happy. With you I'll never feel so lonely I caress your chest and breathe in slowly. I forget the sky above and ground below. You grab hold of me so I'm never cold. With you I feel so safe and sound, If such things exist for me then I am made for you.

Beneath the night sky with your face lit up by the moonlight I sit waiting for you to speak to me. Beneath the night sky with your palm pressed soft against mine You sit breathing on me, whispering. It's alright. It's okay. Darling dear, you make my every day worth living. You're the only thing I'm dreaming of. You're amazing. You're perfect. There are not words that can describe you or the way I feel. Beneath the night sky fire flies dimmed by your eyes Until the morning sun kisses us goodnight. Beneath the night sky we will never say goodbye. It's alright. It's okay. Darling dear, you make my every day worth living. You're the only thing I'm dreaming of. You're amazing. You're perfect. There are not words that can describe you or the way I feel. Every night when you fall asleep. Your eyes close listening to me. Every night as I drift to sleep. My eyes close. I'm listening gently to every single syllable you breathe. I promise it's the most beautiful thing that I've ever heard and I ever will. Autumn leaves with everlasting complacency, Tell me why you respire. What and why do you desire? The sky watches you with envy, Descend gently knowing you're why I exist. I always will take care of you.

Ma chérie, allumer la lumière. Et appuyer votre joue contre ma visage. Le soleil n'a pas besoin de coucher, ma lapin doux. Je tiendrai votre main et enlever toute votre douleur. Ce soir, le monde est chaud. Comme je tombe plus profond dans l'amour. Ce soir, la lune brille pour vous. Je serai le vôtre à jamais jusqu'à mon dernier souffle. Seulement à la vue de vos yeux ouverts. Ce soir, le monde est chaud. Comme je tombe plus profond dans l'amour. Ce soir, la lune brille pour vous. Quand vous vous sentez triste. Rappelez vous avez mon coeur avec vous, toujours.

My little umbrella, you keep me dry on those days when the sky cries. There are no clouds to lean on or fall through. My little umbrella, you keep me safe and warm. I'll admit it's something that I've never had before. With hair crossing your eyes, a pair of black glasses, and a bigger smile. My little umbrella, you cover me with shade on the first day of June. I can hardly breathe but I feel lighter. I could listen to you breathe for hours and hours. And I do. It means more to me than it does to you. The red shirt that I like and a locket around your neck The same pair of jeans from last week. You're why the world spins. You're why I dream when I'm awake. You're where spring begins. You're forever and it'll stay that way. You saved me from the nights where I thought I'd be without you. You're always there silent beneath my sheets. We stay awake until morning comes cheek against cheek. When the light peeks in through our transparent curtains, I can see your eyes the widest they've ever been. The red shirt that I like and a locket around your neck. You're the girl I won't forget.

I plan on spending every morning waking to half closed eyes. Tangled under bedsheets and pillows, nose to nose. The only time our hands would be apart is when I slide them across your cheek to tell you good morning. You're the sparkle off of sand. You're the gently blowing wind. I bite the top of your lip and breathe. I can tell the future from your smile And the way you part your hair when you stare at me. Everything is better than we both ever could've dreamed. You're the light shining off the moon. You're the shadow lining my room. I press my eyelashes against yours and say, "you're everything." She's the light that brightens my heart.
