things that you are

David Ryan Harris

The room is so quiet, the blanket is rising and falling with you as you breathe
My arms are your shelter, my chest is your pillow
I just love watching you sleep
I'm so jealous
Of the moonlight kissing your face

In about half an hour you'll kick off all the covers
I love watching you toss and turn
But for as much as I know, all the ways that you are
There's so much I need to learn
I'm so jealous
Of the white lace clutching your waist

You are waves to the ocean, spark to the flame
The sweet love you give puts any girl to shame
These are the things that you are
You are grace under fire in all that you do
In a world full of lies you are truth absolute
These are the things that you are

You've got this sweet way of whisperin' to me
And I feel like I'm more than I am
And I know your secrets, all your thoughts and your dreams
There's so much I understand about you
I'm so lucky, to have you right next to me

You are waves to the ocean, spark to the flame
Sweet love you give puts any girl to shame
These are the things that you are
You are grace under fire, in all that you do
In a world full of lies, you are truth absolute
These are the things that you are

I want to sail on the breath you exhale
And journey to places that live in my dreams
With you as our guide and God on our side
You see the world as it's meant to be seen
Let the drifter in me get lost on the sea of your touch
