Too Much For One Heart

Too Much For One Heart
Outside there is a war,
In here the night is still.
The jasmine buds have bloomed,
The way the jasmine will.
And you have given birth to a speckle of dust,
To a sparkle of light
To a small hint of life.

Frail as a flower in the morning
Is this tiny work of art
When I see her face before me
This is too much for one heart
Here like a seedling in a garden
Is a world about to start
And you're here with me to share it
This is too much for one heart
Yours, half of all of this is yours
And now I swear upon the moon
Now here I see, the best of you and me
In a smile that is shining
On the face of our girl
All alone in my arms I hold such beauty
I want time to stop right here
Make perfection last forever
In which we could disappear, disappear.
You, half of all of this is yours
And now I feel you coming near
Here, you can see the best of you and me
Both our stories combining
In this life we've begun
We have been living with such wonder
That our souls could burst apart,
And from now we'll be together
This is too much for one heart.
