JEWEL

A love song written for my wife

Jewel

Ah, when you walk up and whisper I love you

like you’re choosing me over the rest of the men in the room

You like the sun on your skin while I’m moon-cool, and

Evening with you is the crown of the day, you’re the jewel

Evening with you is the crown of the day, you’re the jewel

Once sleepy-heads hit the pillow, you dream of France

I’m always three decades back with no plans but to dance through Ireland

You like a morning sip while I’m midnight fuel

Evening’s the crown of the day, you’re the jewel

Evening’s the crown of the day, you’re the jewel

You never know whether you wake up together tomorrow

or hold to the promise you made to each other today

and who is to say if the balance is pleasure or sorrow

and all you can hope for is laughter

to mask or to master your pain

and know it right down to molecular level
the love that you gave is never in vain

Oh, when you wake me with migas and ’’I love you’’

like you’re starting the day with a song and I’m part of your tune

You would jump out of a plane, while I’m room with a brew

Evening crown of the day, you’re the jewel
