All I Can Offer

No touch of hand
No sweet whisper in ear
But a heart instead
A verse for a soul so dear

No touch of hand
No kiss of dawn on your lips
But love so pure instead
The only I can give

Swansongs and dreamdawns
Moonlit shadows dancing on leaves of old oak
Whispers through the night
Silent voices in the dark
Dream of heart is all I can offer you now

No touch of hand
No kiss at dawn
Nothing I could give
My love to share instead
Of porcelain beauty unreal

Purity of dawn, tales of childhood’s awe
Stories of lost magic worlds
Hidden from the eyes, but never too far from the heart
Adoring dream remains within to be dearly loved

Nothing so far
But a truth of heart
My love to feel
Is only I could give
A dream for a heart
All I can offer you now

Don’t give me hope
Don’t give me time
Just take my love
Instead of dreams undone
Give me nothing more
Than I can offer

No touch, but a kiss of dawn
No midnight bliss, but a heart of love
All the oceans and shores I still adore
My heart is all I can give you forevermore
