DEEP AS BLUE by David Mentzer

Lyrics

Verse 1 I sit here waiting for the sun to rise,
I also have something to light the sky,
You walk up with eyes so blue…
And smile…I stand and walk with you.

Verse 2 I kiss the warmth upon your hair,
Nothing but your arms can hold me here,
Stay so long loving you
My past becomes a place I knew.

BRIDGE 1 You could say I’ve found, my home within your arms,
When your lips touch mine, I learn to breathe…

CHORUS Dressed up in sunlight, it’s all we wear,
Breathing in your smile, my hands in your hair…
Into eyes deep as blue
I fall…I fall in love with you.

Verse 3 You feel like sunlight upon my skin
Filling me up from outside in,
Making love under miles of blue,
I lean into heaven with you.

Verse 4 Places I’ve been to you seem to know,
When my fears arise you make me whole,
Breathing deep I take you in
Where love has only rarely been.

BRIDGE 2 Paths I’ve only dreamed open all around,
Nothing here is left of what I knew…

CHORUS Dressed up in sunlight, it’s all we wear,
Breathing in your smile, my hands in your hair,
Into eyes deep as blue
I fall…I fall in love with you.
