Patricia

This must be the feeling my father
Felt the first time when he saw my mother
The ocean as music, the sand as their floor
Follow my footsteps and we'll stay the course

I wonder what his first words for her were
Hey there, hi, why do you look so tired?
Probably cause you've been running through my mind
She could've walked off but she laughed and she smiled

Kiss me, hold me
Show me that I'm not as worthless as
I think myself to be
Please stay, please stay
My father taught me how to love
I know what he taught was enough

Is this the way that my father kissed her?
The sky burning out sunk in sheets together
His lips nervously trembling towards her cheek
Her eyelids half closed, her nerves begging for peace

I want to feel the rush he felt when he was on
His knee, ring in sight, the rough stillness of time
Her breath desynchronized as she waters her eyes
How did he know she'd look beautiful in white?

Kiss me, hold me
Show me that life is worth
Everything I'm dying for
Please stay, please stay
Till death do us part
You'll be my last breath
My parting thought

I must be feeling what my father feels
When he looks at my mother, love's ideal
I never thought I'd have a love like this
I'm glad it's you I get to share my life with
