I Want to Spend a Day with You(song)

---

I want to spend a day with you

Collapsing under a sky of breathless blue

I want to hold your hand

Lay down happy on the sand

I want to spend a day with you

---

We all just want a little piece of sky

where we can rest our weary aching eyes

and watch the graceful birds soar by

We all just want a little piece of sky

---

since you've come into my riddled life

every day seems a little more bright

dancing, singing and happiness

are my new addictions for which I feel blessed

I want to dance and sing with you.

---

i'll make myself a nymph of the sea

you can float you're pretty eyeballs out to me

sing your siren songs of myth

be my never ending kiss

i'll make myself a nymph of the sea

---

Fashionable host of my Stage

You kept me searching and praying

With arms outstretched as if to fly

You welcomed me to go find mine

I'm hot-blooded and I won't let chance slip by

---

All's well that ends well here

I won't let a day go by in fear

Inaudible and noiseless feet of time

Won't keep me from living in perfect rhyme

I want to spend a day with you divine

---

So bring me down your favorite city streets

Find us a newfangled place to eat

Love's labor is not lost on us

Poetic pageantry comes into clear focus

I want to spend the day with you.

strips of bark like belts

hanging

leaves frosted like winter windows

Bows swaying, creaking in the wind

like a rope swing from our favorite tree

push me you say

I push you as high as I can

hoping your feet will touch the top bow

you say stop, 

I'm going too high

we stay awhile and watch the sunset over the mountains

then we wander down the trail home

grace smiles and follows us too

We miss her

we miss the joy our animal spirit brought to our days

tears come all too easily when we stop to remember her love of a simple walk

and returning home
