Love Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, they say you came from across Asian sea Flower in your hair, an air of mystery And they say a gypsy woman told your mama on the day you were born "She's gonna sail across the ocean and some man gonna write a song" [Verse 2] Well you know, to me, darling, you're most like a shooting star You're flaming in beauty through the night wherever you are And I'm the one who longed to touch your beauty so long I got my own little room over in the tower of song [Chorus] Yeah, but if I were a poet I'd write about your eyes If I werе a pharaoh, darling I'd paint your face on Egypt's skies If I werе a mystic warrior on the plains, you'd be my sunrise And I could ride off in the sunset and be happy all the days of my life [Verse 3] Well, in these modern times of money and bottom lines They say romance of the heart is dead but they didn't look in mine So would you lift with me where the moonlight meets the sea? Let's leave our shackles and chains behind and go running free [Chorus] Yeah, 'cause if I were a poet I'd write about your eyes If I were a pharaoh, darling, I'd paint your face on Egypt's skies If I were a mystic warrior on the plains, you'd be my sunrise And I could ride off in the sunset and be happy all the days of my life
