[ My gentle giant ]

My gentle giant
how you tower above me
in every way
wise beyond your years

I waited
patient in the shadows
for the opportunity
I finally took the chance to dream

A careless brush
of your fingertips across my lips
And we're floating
shadow dancing with fantasies

I won't deny it
I see it all so clearly
The courtiers standing by
As we skip down the aisle

It seems natural to me
Something we have found intimidating
Just feels ordinary
No questions on what it should feel like

I won't ask for your hand
I am not looking for rainbows of silver,
I only ask for your heart,
And an open path to your soul

Could this just stay like this forever
Could we not just void ourselves of stress
Forget the politics of life
And enjoy the time we have together

I don't want to say it
those three little words are left unsaid
Our love is more than that
It's a connection - a deeper understanding

If I could only hold you
Drawing on your strength if I ever need it
If you could only shield me
Against the heavy hearts of others

If you could love me,
And dedicate your life to our lives only
I know life isn't as a simple as that
But to just believe feels like heaven

My gentle giant,
You should know how much you mean to me
in every way
I hope we're wise beyond our years ...
