Each Falling Tear
I'll kiss away each falling tear
for you should never ever fear
that i will fail to be so near
as not to catch those falling tears
your grief and anguish hurt me deep
and your remonstrance i can't keep.
I'll wipe away your cares and woes
for you should never think that those
black moments are the one's i chose
to wrap your heart in swaddling clothes
for do not even think i'd ever
my closeness to you try to sever.
I want each moment magic filled
for you should never doubt my will
to fly with angels and yet still
i will so gently wait until
your tears like silent waters die
and my dear love - you stop your cry.
