Song Trip, of Sorts



A tribute to the season - am a bit half-hearted since this I am not in the state of mind nor is this the country for Valentine's. A classic from Minnie Ripperton.

So you ask me what do I see
When I look into your eyes
I see things that have never existed before

Shall I tell you all that I find
In those beautiful eyes -- I can try
But it never existed before

The silvery moon... a walk in the park
The tunnel of love... a kiss in the dark
The light of the stars... the clouds in the sky
The fireworks on the fourth of July

And you ask me what do I hear
When you whisper my name
Music plays that has never existed before

Oh, and I don't know why
But it's there just the same
And it's plain that it never existed before

The song of the rain ... the flowers in spring
The wind in the willow trees murmuring
The laughter that falls ... the children at play
Like church bells that call all the people to pray

So you ask me why do I glow
Well, I think you should know
I'm in love and I never existed before

(Instrumental)

So you ask me what do I see
When I look in your eyes
I see things that have never existed before

Shall I tell you all that I find
In those beautiful eyes --- I can try
But it never existed before

Oh, why do I smile
When I dream in the night
Hold me tight, and you'll hear my heart beating for more

And if we touch
I, I love it so much
I'm in love and I never existed before

Ooohhh... I'm in love, and I've never. I've never, I've never ...
Never never never never...
