Anywhere She’s Walking

\nHer lips were made of laughter and her smile of summer sun
\nI’d swear she taught the nightingale to sing
\nIn love forever after with a waterfall of fun
\nShe always made the best of everything
\nShe walked on windswept beaches so the waves could kiss her hair
\nAnd anywhere she’s walking I’ll be there<\/p>\n
We lay on grassy pillows with our fingers intertwined
\nMade birds and fish from clouds that floated by
\nPlayed hide and seek in willows where the silent lake was lined
\nAnd dreamed that we could swim across the sky
\nShe walked through woodland pathways so the leaves could brush her hair
\nAnd anywhere she’s walking I’ll be there<\/p>\n
On Autumn expeditions to a land of golden leaves
\nWe’d dance through drifts that crunched beneath our feet
\nThe tender intermissions that my memory perceives
\nMake days of foolish loneliness complete
\nShe walked in winter moonlight so the beams could gild her hair
\nAnd anywhere she’s walking I’ll be there<\/p>\n
Before I’d ever met her I was lost and I was found
\nAnd afterwards I knew where I must be
\nNow I cannot forget her or the visions or the sound
\nThat made the days she gave me poetry
\nShe walks along my daydreams so that I can touch her hair
\nAnd anywhere she’s walking I’ll be there<\/p>\n
