Before Night Falls

Ok, forgive me. I 'm on a bit of a stroll down memory lane with my last few post... I promise my next one will be new...LOL! This piece will always be one of my favorites. For one, it's a song, and I am always partial to something I can remember by singing. Second, I based it's melody on a delectable slice of music by my favorite artist Prince. If it ever DID become a song, unfortunately it would have to be recoreded with a much different sound to avoid litigation. But if you get the chance, search for a song called "Digital Garden" by Prince and listent to about the 1st 50secs of the song...the beat, oh the beat. Then, close your eyes and see if this sucker doesn't fit right in with that sexy undercurrent... Enjoy!

"Before Night Falls"

Here now as I stare upon your face
Ecstasy fills my mind
Oh yes how I love this place
You’ve brought my soul to time after time
Do you understand the purity
Of the words
That drop from your lips?
They've soaked into the heart of me
My body they send on a wonderful journey.

The sanctity of your touch upon me
Every time you do
My soul you set free
I keep asking myself could this be
A blinding fantasy?
Only thing that gets me through the day
Is to know
That before night falls
You’ll come my way
I can't concentrate
Every time I breathe your name.

You're the completion of the soul within me
You’re the half that makes the whole
Honestly
Do you know that without you
I would slowly die away
Like the close of a day
A sunset here to stay;
But I know that
Before night falls
You’ll come my way.

How many times
Have I stared upon your face?
So many times
Never wanting to leave this place...

Before night falls
I want it all (of you)
I need it all (us two)
All my love will fall (on you)
Before night falls...
