Believe
It happened many years ago
In the heart of the Carolina mountains
There lived a boy whom she adored
He was kind and clever and gentle
She couldn’t ever imagine a beloved
More wonderful or pleasant
He gave her heart a special pulse
Vibrating with sincere appreciation
In the beginning of this love
There were thrills beyond imagining
Joys so brilliant and alive
They foretold of amazing adventures
Where these two would share a life
Both splendid and beyond comparison
A life of love and hope and faith
Found only in those who treasure
The beauty of a love so special
He gave her heart a special pulse
Vibrating with sincere appreciation
As they spent their days traveling through life
The moments filled with so much excitement
Just two hearts – a boy and a girl
Alive with light from this wonderous love
Love filled their lives with music and poetry
Flaming ideas that brought hearts to believe
In the mystery, the kiss of faith, the angelic
Fire brought to life by their heart’s desire
He gave her heart a special pulse
Vibrating with sincere appreciation
They never lacked for a feeling of hope
There were so many blessings, treasures
Both warm and compassionate, amazing
Filled with breathtaking grace, rays
Of vibrant thanks – spoken by two hearts
Who knew only that love needed it’s chance
To arouse the light within the spirit
The feeling that they’d spent their lives
With the rich and vibrant moments
Brought to life by feelings so marvelous
Feelings of wonder, wisdom and warmth
Beautiful feelings blessed by the hand of God
He gave her heart a special pulse
Vibrating with sincere appreciation
It would take the death of this girl
To dim the bright light that shined around them
Reminding all who entered their vicinity
That kindness and love were the treasures from above
Which whispered through their spirits
Releasing affection and adoration, a tenderness
Only felt by two hearts who will always melt
At the touch of the hand they desire
The beloved one who sets their heart afire
He gave her heart a special pulse
Vibrating with sincere appreciation
As death came and took away the sweet flame
That set their world burning with passion
There were only the ardent tales to take hold
Of those who could remember their light
Their love, their hope, their faith
The amazing way they stayed in love
Despite the mountain’s tired seasons and spells
Which never quite left them to themselves
Where they’d always be grateful for the chance
To experience a love so phenomenal
A love so alive and so brilliant
Shining a light into the distance
So that every heart around
Be they up or down
Found satisfaction
In a love that cried out – simply BELIEVE
He gave her heart a special pulse
Vibrating with sincere appreciation
