TURNING PAGE

Written by: Ryan O'Neal (Sleeping At Last)
 

I've waited a hundred years. 

But I'd wait a million more for you. 

Nothing prepared me for  

What the privilege of being yours would do.

 
If I had only felt the warmth within your touch, 

If I had only seen how you smile when you blush,  

Or how you curl your lip when you concentrate enough, 

I would have known what I was living for all along.  

What I've been living for.
 

Your love is my turning page, 

Where only the sweetest words remain. 

Every kiss is a cursive line,  

Every touch is a redefining phrase.
 

I surrender who I've been for who you are,  

For nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart. 

If I had only felt how it feels to be yours,  

Well, I would have known what I've been living for all along.  

What I've been living for.
 

Though we're tethered to the story we must tell,  

When I saw you, well, 

I knew we'd tell it well.  

With a whisper, we will tame the vicious seas.  

Like a feather bringing kingdoms to their knees
