Into the Blue (Part II) – The Gift

Well here we are my beauty

We stand before the Blue

I know that you feel nervous

But I have to give this gift to you

Just the word of fantasies

I know would make your cheeks go red

But I loved you for your purity

So do not worry about what lays ahead

Wow, I must digress

I forgot how brown your eyes were

How much they shined and smiled

Just how they showed a rough man

How a soul could be so mild

Right, where were we

Oh yeah, this gift for you

It's just a little thing

To show my love was true

Oh God I feel your hand now

It's tenderness so fragile in my own

I've missed that touch so much

I'd forgotten how you really were the one

I thought that I was ready for this moment

Well, I suppose I am

Didn't think it would be so tough

But I'm damned if I'm going to stop now

Stop! I don't think I can

Please don't think me foolish

Or any less a man

It's just that unlike me

You don't see you as I can

Your perfume fills my mind again

It's like you're really here

I'm smiling through the tears

I'm always like this when you are near

OK, let's get this journey under way

The beginning of the end

Let us step into the Blue

Before I go quietly round the bend

I thought you would wonder about the wolf, standing by my side

But he must come with us, he will be there at the end

Well, I sort of talk to him

He's my imaginary friend

No I'm not too old for that

He's helped me get this far

I'll tell you more about him

As we journey near and far

Awaiting on the other side

Is a picnic set out for us

Thought we should start off gently

There really is no rush

The picnic's set in a special place

We will be the first it's ever seen

Remember we can be anywhere, anyone and any time

Come on let's go, just think of it as a dream...
