Spanish Doll

Those lips of darkened red�
The way your hair curls around your head.
In those satin arms I�m secure,
A once-in-a-lifetime love adventure.

Time will stand still for you,
The winter will cower and the sky will shine blue.
Like a floating angel down here�
With more beauty than even God can adhere.

So tonight, here I stand, alone�
Thinking back on all the love we�d shown.
Are you willing to love me once more?
Is this what my future has in store?

Surely not, for you are out of reach.
I�m like a grain of sand on a diamond beach.
Swooning for your kiss and your love,
As you are all I think of.

A sad realization I must accept,
That I�ll never be completely content.
But if this is a love that shall never be,
My heart is like a dove that shall never be free.
