Not Missing Love’s Beat Not missing love’s beat . . . . Sails to you this golden bright morning rising so high Sails waving with light, joy, and such promise and hope One smile gasping breathless always for you my love As you walk with me deeply into Eden’s very paradise Dancing my heart love on that yellow brick road of dreams Dying to be with you my love forever and ever and ever Dreams inside of eternal youth with my heart pounding so Awaiting the very day to come when I stand before you Down on bended knee holding your hands warmly smiling Kissing each and every single fingertip so exquisitely I shall ask you to be forever and always with me my love You will be my Queen with dazzling jewels of an ocean wide The other heartbeat echoing as two becomes one complete Our thirst for love and passion is almost unquenchable And my very psyche is afire with excitement when we caress Sleeping at night my love brings me into your dream world Where it’s me and you and you and me together floating Through the very ether of time breathing rarefied air so Deliciously as we’re hopelessly mesmerized in true love When I awaken from our nocturnal dream trance so joyously We hold one another so lovingly and caress so warmly at once We kiss passionately and longingly in a most sublime spirit while Not missing love’s beat . . . .
