Shells

You used to smile across the room
I was a girl with no intentions to bloom..
You said the words I longed to hear
and there I stood, and my heart aching with fear..
And you said...

Love, love, love, is a sky high above us
Lay your love, love, love on me and I won't let you go...
I won't let you go, no I won't let you go...

I said I need something to drink...
My boat was leaking, I was ready to sink.
You laughed and said that it's ok..
I couldn't leave you I had no place to stay... when you said

Love, love, love, is a sky high above you
Lay your love, love, love on me and I won't let you go...
I won't let you go, no I won't let you go...

I thought I saw your light as the darkness fell
Yes , yes I saw you shine where only shadows dwell.
Yes, I saw the light... now I live to tell.
That without our love we're just empty shells.
