Something happened in the moment
Just before you whispered, "Yes".
All my hopes and dreams were shaking
At the edge of emptiness.
I was certain you'd be tender
As you turned my love away,
But then you smiled,
Then you smiled.
I could feel my heart beat louder
And my fingers turned to ice.
I had dared to say, "I love you":
Now I'd have to pay the price.
Who was I? What could I offer?
Was I mad to even try?
But then you smiled,
Then you smiled.
Then, if such a thing is possible,
Your beauty seemed to grow,
And I don't remember breathing
For a hundred years of so;
And though you had not spoken,
Still, you had not turned to go,
And then you smiled,
Then you smiled.
I was certain to survive it.
I was sure I'd love you still,
Even though I had not won you,
I'd had time to speak my fill.
Then you took my hand and held it
And you whispered, "Yes, I will",
And then you smiled,
Then you smiled.
Then, if such a thing is possible,
Your beauty seemed to grow,
And I don't remember breathing
For a hundred years of so;
And though you had not spoken,
Still, you had not turned to go,
And then you smiled,
Then you smiled.
