My life was simpler before I met you
Perhaps I realized not what’s missing!
My world was threadbare, a room with no view
No sun, no stars; skylarks don’t even sing
Before you, my world’s monochromatic
Then you came, and you brought me a rainbow
Beauty surrounds me; nights are electric
Days explode in hues, you alone bestow
Before you, life was one long winter day
Leaden skies, ice storms and mind-numbing cold
Then you came, and spring came along to stay.
Green meadows; roses, tulips, marigold
Dot my landscape; while the sky ‘bove is blue
How can I live all my days without you?
