Too Beautiful

It had been a thousand years since I heard your voice,

But I remembered just how it would sound.

Like an angel’s whisper, like a mountain brook,

Like a love song in full surround.

Then you asked me, “how did it make you feel

to find that I still love you too”?

I searched my mind, didn’t know what to say,

But now I think I do.

Like the waves crashing over the water,

Like the sun rising over the sea.

Like the northern breeze on a winter’s day,

taking my breath away from me.

Like the view from the top of the mountain.

Like the warmth of the valley below.

I could never find the words to describe how I feel.

Some things are just too beautiful.

Like a mirage on the desert horizon.

Like a canyon river so deep.

Like the sand of the beach under clear blue water,

A tropic sun washing over me.

Like the full moon-rise on the plains,

so bright that our skin starts to glow.

I could never find the words to describe how I feel,

Some things are just too beautiful.

Like the sound of a storm in the distance

Like a solitary eagle in flight.

Like a blanket of snow that covers the ground

So flawless, so perfect, so white.

Like a forest of trees that filters the light

and the wind to a whisper below.

I could never find the words to describe how I feel,

Some things are just too beautiful.

Some things are just too beautiful.
